On Monday, Shiksha Arora was all smiles after landing a plum job at KBC in the station's mega relaunch. 

However, the day ended in a sad note for the TV siren after she was mugged by a thug in the evening, at the globe roundabout in Nairobi.

The former K24 news anchor took to Twitter to describe the events of the fateful evening. 

"Yesterday at around 5:20 PM I got robbed at the globe roundabout flyover. Guy 1 knocked my side mirror bending it backwards & walked away. While I was rolling down my window slightly to reposition the mirror, guy 2 started banging the front seat passenger window loudly," she wrote.

After getting the attention of Shiksha, the thug managed to enter her car through the back seat, strangling her. 

"As I was looking to my left guy 3 slid his hand in through my window and unlocked my car, got into the back seat. Grabbed my purse & asked for my phone, at this point in time I was in panic mode, couldn’t say anything. He asked for it again & reached for my neck, strangling me. 

As he was strangling my neck, I desperately gasped for air, I started hooting loudly to get some attention hoping somebody would help me. People started getting out of their cars and that’s when he let go and fled. He went with my purse but I am traumatised that he attacked me," she narrated. 

From her horrific experience, Shiksha went ahead to educate fellow motorists. 

"These thugs work in teams in broad daylight during peak traffic, don’t roll down your window no matter what when on globe roundabout. I got lucky, he didn’t manage to hurt me much despite strangling my neck and getting away with my purse. I am okay but traumatised."
