A woman in Baba Dogo has claimed that her son was tortured by unknown thugs.
According to Mary Atieno, her 16-year old son was playing around with his two friends before they bumped into a group of unknown people.
The thugs then humiliated Mary’s son but spared the other two.
Ms Atieno came out on Friday to expose the whole incident that happened on November 18 as narrated by her son.
She claimed that Brian, the son, was tortured on ethnic grounds.
“The Somali boy was allowed to go because he had a turban, the Meru was allowed to go because he is from Mount Kenya while my 16-year old son was beaten almost to death,” Mary told Hivisasa.
The armed thugs also undressed Brian to circumcise him but learnt the boy had undergone the cut.
Her son was rescued by good Samaritans who took him to Nairobi West Hospital.
He sustained deep cuts on his thighs and some injuries on his private parts making him unable to walk.
She had a message to all Kenyans too.
“I can’t harm my neighbour just because he is not from my tribe. Let us love each other. If Brian eventually dies you won’t get rich or poor,” she said.
The widow is asking Kenyans with good heart to help pay her son's hospital bill since it was becoming expensive for her.
