That “easy customer” or roadside emergency… might be a setup.

Across Kenyan roads, some riders are being targeted through fake ride requests, staged breakdowns, or suspicious passengers posing as genuine clients only for things to turn risky along the way.

🛑 Don’t Believe Everything You See or Hear. Do Ask Questions.

Before you pick or stop:
✔️ Does the request feel genuine?
✔️ Is the pickup/drop-off location safe and familiar?
✔️ Can you verify the rider or trip details?

⚠️ Some riders have reported being lured to isolated areas or redirected mid-trip, putting their safety at risk.

📌 Stay alert:
• Avoid unfamiliar, isolated routes especially at night
• Share your trip or location with someone you trust
• Trust your instincts if it feels off, don’t proceed

Your safety on the road comes first.

Don’t Believe Everything. Do Ask Questions. Ride Smart. Stay Safe.
