The incident, which was captured clearly on the bus’s security cameras, has sparked heated debate both on the ground and online.
According to reports from passengers who were on board, the incident happened during a routine journey.
One passenger later realized that his phone was missing and raised concern. After checking with the bus staff, CCTV footage from inside the vehicle was reviewed.
The video reportedly showed a young woman taking the phone from another passenger’s seat.
Witnesses claim that when confronted, the woman initially denied any involvement in the disappearance of the phone.
However, after the CCTV footage was allegedly reviewed, the images appeared to contradict her denial.
The clear footage quickly became the center of attention, with some passengers expressing shock at how boldly the act was carried out.
The identity of the woman has not been officially released.
However, some residents in Nakuru have claimed on social media that she is a local resident and allegedly a student from Maseno University.
These claims have not been independently confirmed, and there has been no official statement from the university regarding the matter.
The incident has triggered widespread reactions online.
Many social media users have condemned the alleged act, saying it is unfortunate and embarrassing, especially if the claims about her being a university student are true.
Some commenters expressed concern about rising cases of theft in public transport and called for stricter security measures to protect passengers.
At the same time, others online raised concerns about how similar cases are handled.
Some argued that if the suspect had been a man, the situation could have turned violent, with mob justice possibly taking place.
