What started as a normal Tuesday morning turned disturbing for three local radio presenters in Mombasa, after a listener called in and threatened them on air.
The presenters, Billy Miya, Dee and Dr Kokoro were conducting the morning show on Baraka FM, when the strange incident occurred.
At around 8am, the trio picked on a topic which is now trending in the county, about a gang of young boys, popularly known as Wakali Kwanza, who have been sexually harassing women in the area by sucking their breasts.
The presenters then asked listeners to weigh in on the matter, and give suggestions of how security officers can tame the menace.
Things went smoothly until a boy who introduced himself as Tango, called in and asked the presenters to stop discussing the issue on air, as they were exposing their secrets.
“Nyinyi hamna kazi ya kufanya hapo studio kila siku ni kutaja Wakali Kwanza tu. Acheni hizo issue zenu bana,” said Tango.
The Mega Breakfast Show presenters proceeded to interrogate the boy to find out if he was really a member of the gang.
The boy "confessed" and even revealed why they were sucking women breasts.
“We ask them to give us money but if they don’t have any, we suck their breasts to punish them and make their bodies weak,” he said.
Things took a sour turn after Tango threatened the presenters, and even went to the extend of telling Dee that he will come to the studio and suck her breasts if they do not stop discussing the issue.
Listeners started commenting on the matter, and encouraged the presenters not to give in to the threats and continue exposing the gang.
The three brave journalist later tried to call the Coast Regional Coordinator Nelson Marwa, but he was unfortunately unavailable.
The trio urged security forces in the area to intervene in the matter and provide them with security.
