Sunday, June 22, 2025 - A South African citizen was left stranded and distressed in Nairobi after an Uber driver reportedly vanished with her luggage, including important personal documents, shortly after dropping her off at MAA Hurlingham from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA).
According to reports, the woman had just arrived in the
country and booked the Uber for a smooth transfer to her destination in
Hurlingham.
Upon arrival, she stepped out briefly to check in at the
reception, expecting to return moments
later to collect her bags.
To her
shock, by the time she returned, the driver had disappeared, along with all her belongings.
Efforts to
call the driver were unsuccessful as the phone went off immediately after the
incident.
The
foreigner is now seeking urgent help from Uber Kenya and the police.
The case has
triggered public outrage, with many Kenyans demanding that Uber Kenya
strengthens security features for clients.
Others have
called for immediate tracking and arrest of the rogue driver.
