The despised pata potea scammers have vanished from Nairobi’s streets in silence.

With their forced departure, a reign of terror and financial fraud against Nairobians has come to an end.

The organizations spent their entire lives seducing and deceiving naive citizens of the metropolis, operating in the open with complete impunity.

People who tried to warn potential clients or voiced objections to their games were frequently physically and verbally assaulted.

Shabbily clothed men and women writing out “chang’aa and sweat” are where you would find them functioning at St. Peter’s Claver termini, which is only around 50 meters from the county facility.

While some gangs formed a line down Ronald Ngala Street, others positioned themselves immediately outside Muthurwa Market.

“They would entice you with a pen and then con you into playing a card game even though they knew you had little chance of winning.

It was obviously a swindle, according to Innocent Njoroge, a former victim.

“I recall choosing to play the card after witnessing these women earn money while playing.

When I lost Ksh2,000 in an instant, I had no idea that they were all a part of the squad, Njoroge added.

Njoroge claimed that after he wanted his money back and threatened to report them to the authorities, he was physically assaulted and battered.
