Some things can bring shame to your life and your reputation is gone forever but guess what, nowadays people have thrown the so-called manners away. Can you imagine a well-dressed man who is a father, husband, stealing innerwear? And it is not for the first time, he has a habit. I don’t know what to say, anyway it is story time.
It all happened on a hot Thursday morning in Nairobi’s busiest street. The city was full of movement. Buses hooting, hawkers shouting, shopkeepers arranging their clothes. Everything was normal until it wasn’t.
At exactly 11.27am, a loud scream was heard near a popular clothes shop that sells second-hand clothes. What followed next shocked the entire street.
Who Is This Man and Why Is He Screaming?
People turned to see where the scream came from. There, near the entrance of the shop, was a man rolling on the ground. Screaming loudly. Slapping himself. Kicking the air. Crying like a child who lost his toy.
“Uuuuui! Uiiiiiii! Forgive me! I didn’t know!”
People rushed. Phones came out. Videos started recording. Someone even thought he was being attacked by bees. But there were no bees. Just a grown man shouting and crawling on the pavement.
A woman who sells boiled eggs nearby was the first to recognize him. “That is the guy who comes here often. He even speaks good English. What has happened to him?”
The Story Behind the Madness
As more people gathered, one shop attendant came out and revealed the truth.
“That man was here earlier this morning. He pretended to be looking for socks. I even helped him pick a few. Then suddenly he disappeared. Now we’ve just found out he left with one of our new boxers tucked under his jacket.”
You read that right.
A grown man, wearing a clean shirt and tie, walked into a shop and stole underwear. Then, hours later, came back to the same shop and started screaming like he had lost his mind.
A Habit That Has Gone Too Far
Insiders around that area say this is not the first time this man has done something like this. One vendor even swore that he once caught him trying to hide a vest inside a newspaper.
“He walks like a banker. He talks like a teacher. But his fingers are not clean,” said the vendor.
This time, however, things were different. The man didn’t just steal and run. He came back. Or rather, something brought him back.
And he didn’t return silently. He came with noise, tears, and total embarrassment.
What the Crowd Saw
At first, people thought maybe he had been poisoned. Others thought he was bewitched. But when he started shouting specific things, everyone fell silent.
“I have a wife and children! Please forgive me! I just needed one boxer! I will pay double!”
He then reached into his jacket and pulled out the stolen item. It was wrinkled and dirty now. He placed it on the ground and knelt before it like it was a holy object.
A child passing by asked the mother, “Mama, why is uncle talking to pants?” The mother had no answer.
Embarrassment of the Highest Level
Men who were watching started moving away slowly. Some pretended they had not seen anything. Others shook their heads in disbelief.
“How can a man with a beard and phone in his pocket do such a thing?” one man whispered.
But the women around were not quiet.
“Let this be a lesson. You can wear a tie but still lack manners,” one shouted.
Another added, “God is showing him. That is what happens when you steal what belongs to another person!”
The worst part is that the man refused to leave. He kept begging loudly, even offering to clean the shop windows.
Where Did the Shame Come From?
A friend who knows the shop owner told us something interesting. When the shop owner noticed the missing boxer, she didn’t panic. She didn’t fight. She simply said “He will return it himself.”
People around laughed and said “You are dreaming.” But now they believe she was very serious.
One man whispered, “Maybe she knows people who don’t use fists. She just called and said the rest is history.”
That’s when whispers began. People started mentioning a certain number. A phone number that is now being passed around quietly across estates.
The Number That Brings Justice
Later, in a small conversation behind the shop, one staff member admitted that they knew what had happened.
“This is not the first time. I’ve seen this before. If someone does bad to you and you don’t want to fight or waste time with police, you just call the number and give your case.”
We asked what number. They didn’t want to say the name of the people behind it. But they confidently gave the number.
“We don’t know how they do it,” she said, “but trust me, they do not fail.”
Strange Things That Followed
After a while, the man stopped screaming and went completely quiet. He sat on the ground and started tearing paper slowly. His face was full of regret. He kept whispering the word “boxer” as if it was the name of someone who betrayed him.
He later tried to leave but could not stand up properly. Every time he stood up, he fell. When a guard tried to help him up, he shouted “Don’t touch me. I’m not worthy!”
It took the help of three young men to carry him to a bench where he sat facing the shop he had stolen from.
Witnesses Were Left in Awe
One lady who was recording the scene said, “This is the best justice I have seen in Nairobi. No court. No police. Just shame that he will never forget.”
A street preacher who was nearby even said a short prayer, asking God to teach more thieves this kind of lesson.
It is now believed the man is no longer staying in Nairobi CBD. A newspaper seller claimed to have seen him begging for work in a different estate and that he refused to go near any shop selling clothes.
The Woman Said Nothing
Throughout the entire drama, the shop owner never came outside. She stood inside and continued folding trousers. She said nothing. Smiled once. Then continued with her work.
When asked later why she stayed calm, she replied, “Let others see for themselves. I don’t need to shout.”
Many now believe she made the silent move that broke the thief’s pride without raising her voice.
What Are People Saying Now?
As the video of the man screaming and begging spreads on social media, comments are pouring in.
One man wrote, “Next time you see someone eating grass or crying for underwear in town, just know it is justice.”
Another said, “We need to learn to fear people who keep quiet after being wronged.”
Many now believe that justice doesn’t always come in a court. Sometimes it comes with tears, dust, and boxers laid on pavement.
The Warning to the Rest
If you’re reading this and you have stolen something from someone kind, just return it. Don’t wait for things to get bad. Because when justice finally speaks, even your legs can forget how to walk.
That man is not the first. And he won’t be the last.
This is your warning. Be content. Be honest. If you wrong someone and they say nothing, be scared. If they smile and go silent, run.
Final Word
We write these stories not to shame people but to teach. If you are a thief or a liar or someone who thinks they can take and walk free, your time is coming.
And if you are a victim, tired of being laughed at by people who took what’s yours, just breathe. There is a number you can call. A quiet but powerful help line.
They will not ask for noise. They will just ask for your truth. And then the rest is silence.
