The three then left Maragua town to Murang’a town but the car diverted at Mbombo area and took a feeder road.
It is then that Mwaga who is said to be over 100 years and has a slight hearing impairment realized that something was off and started making noise.
They ordered him to shut up and stole his wallet that the old man can not tell how much money it contained.
But the confusion caused the vehicle to veer off the road and hit a rock by the roadside.
This gave him the chance to disembark from the vehicle, screaming that the two suspects wanted to kill him.
One of the suspects flagged down a boda boda rider and got the mzee from the scene as passersby who had gathered at the scene contacted the police.
Their vehicle, a Toyota Axio, was also towed to Maragua police station as the victim’s family was contacted.
He said the suspects took advantage of his father’s poor hearing to manipulate him and steal from him.
Mwaga had trouble expressing himself, both from the shock of the incident and his old age.
They said the incident has shocked the family but expressed joy that he is safe and that the suspects did not succeed to withdraw money from his account.
Sub-county police commander Alexander Lusala confirmed that the two suspects were in police custody and that they would be arraigned in court on Monday as investigations are underway.
