A quiet day turned into a chilling discovery for a man in Embakasi after he reviewed CCTV footage from his compound.
Throughout the day, he had gone about his normal activities, unaware that a group of unidentified individuals was trailing him.
The footage showed strange figures moving behind him at different times, appearing to study his routine.
At first, their presence seemed coincidental, but their repeated appearances around the same areas raised suspicion.
The man realised that what he had dismissed as random passers by might have been part of a calculated plan.
The incident happened in one of the busy estates in Embakasi, an area where cases of surveillance and theft have become increasingly common.
For this man, the security cameras proved to be his saving grace.
Before checking the footage, nothing seemed unusual.
He had gone about his errands as usual, interacting with neighbours and shop attendants.
However, when he later reviewed the recordings, his sense of safety changed completely.
The images showed him walking along estate paths while several figures followed him at a distance, at times hiding behind vehicles or blending into small crowds.
The discovery caused concern among neighbours who later viewed the footage.
It became clear that the unidentified group had monitored his movements closely, possibly waiting for an opportunity.
While no confrontation occurred, the video served as a reminder of how quickly an ordinary day can turn into a moment of fear.
The man’s experience reflected the rising insecurity in many Nairobi neighbourhoods, where residents have become increasingly alert to suspicious activity.
Though the motive of the group remained unclear, the incident drew attention to the silent dangers that often go unnoticed in crowded urban areas.
