Two women are in police custody following an alleged attempt to drug a football fan during weekend matches at a local club.
The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) detailed the incident on social media under the title, "Mchele strikes again: Football fan left speechless at local club."
The official statement humorously described the suspects as "two highly coordinated light-skinned pishori magoshodo" who turned an evening into a comedy sketch.
A Tactical Distraction
The incident occurred over the weekend when football supporters were glued to television screens watching matches.
The two suspects, Sharon and Chantelle, targeted a patron named Brayo, who was buying drinks after every near miss.
"One held the midfield with offside talk. The other sent the through ball straight into the glass,” DCI described the drugging incident.
While one suspect held his attention with football tactics, the other spiked his drink. Chantelle then whispered, "Hii imeenda."
Collapse and Interception
Brayo drank from the glass, believing he was enjoying a romantic moment.
Within fifteen seconds, his eyes rolled back, his knees buckled, and he collapsed face-first onto the table.
His final conscious words were: “Hizi ni gani tena?…” according to DCI’s narration.
The suspects attempted to drag the unconscious patron towards the exit, pretending to be long-standing friends.
The club supervisor blocked their path and shouted to alert the venue. Football fans stopped watching the match, the DJ lowered the volume, and patrons pushed back their chairs.
In the ensuing scuffle, one suspect lost her false eyelashes onto a four-litre container. The other attempted to stuff Brayo's car keys into her handbag.
DCI officers arrived quickly at the scene to secure the suspects from an angry mob.
Legal Proceedings and Wider Context
The suspects remain at a police facility awaiting a court hearing. Brayo is recovering at home with his wife of six years, Phyllis, where he is being administered traditional energising porridge.
Drink-spiking, known locally as "mchele" or "pishori", involves using sedatives to incapacitate nightclub patrons before robbing them.
The DCI regularly employs humorous, Sheng-infused narratives on social media platforms to engage the public and highlight security warnings.
The agency warned revellers that a stranger offering extra experiences at a local pub can turn an evening bitter.
"Watch the game, but watch your drink more,” DCI warned.
