Insecurity is one of the major challenges that Kisumu County is facing.
Once its dark, robbers position themselves in corners and attack unsuspecting residents taking away any valuables you may have from money, cell phones, laptops to shoes.
This ungrateful activity mostly occurs in deserted streets and not so well light areas.
To be safe and avoid attacks from these robbers, always put these measures in place;
1. Do not walk alone at night
You should refrain from walking alone at night in Kisumu. If you leave work late, it is better to use a taxi or call your family members to pick you up at the nearest matatu stage.
2. Avoid using your phone
When walking at night you should avoid using your phone, since the light emitted by the gadget acts as a signal to robbers. From the phone's light, the robbers can detect that someone is coming, and hence prepare for an attack.
The phone also takes away your concentration and therefore making you an easy target.
3. Walk strategically
If you have to walk alone at night, your eyes should always be looking forward and not downwards. After making a few strides, you make look backwards just to make sure no one is following you.
4. Run in case of suspicion
The moment you feel like everything is not okay please run,do not wait to see what will happen.
