A man was walking along a dusty road to his rented room in Kariobangi, Nairobi. At the end of the dusty road, he passed through an open estate playing ground. At the middle of the field he heard a distress call from a woman. He rushed to her aid and on reaching there he saw some figures on the ground the women wrestling to free herself from the man who was raping her. He did not have a spot light and that night was covered by dark clouds. The surrounding was covered by total darkness. He shouted at the man to Stop it! Surprisingly the rapist complied as he picked himself and vanished into the thick darkness. No sooner than the man disappeared than many people responding to the distress call arrived. The lady was now struggling to her feet when the people inquired from her “Who did this to you?” – She pointed at the man who came to her rescue “Him!”. The man with his mouth wide open – stammered something which fell into deaf ears. They all pounced at him and beat him senseless. They later dragged him to a nearby Police Station and he was later prosecuted and jailed for several years.
The next time you hear a distress call and you decide to respond - make sure you are not alone! THIS IS A CASE OF MISTAKEN IDENTITY!
