A dramatic scene unfolded after a group of four ladies reportedly attacked their female friend, accusing her of being a “boyfriend snatcher.”
According to witnesses, the young woman, believed to be a Gen Z, was cornered and beaten by the group after being accused of having affairs with men already in relationships with her friends.
Accused of Dating Her Friends’ Lovers
Reports indicate that the lady had developed a reputation for getting involved with her friends’ boyfriends. The four women, who appeared furious in a video circulating online, claimed they had repeatedly warned her but she ignored their warnings.
In the viral footage, the group can be seen confronting her and expressing their anger, saying she had betrayed their trust by secretly eloping with their partners.
Violent Confrontation
The confrontation quickly turned physical as the angry women began to assault the accused lady using blunt objects, including a plastic chair. Despite her attempts to defend herself and apologize, she was overpowered by the group’s combined strength.
Eyewitnesses described the incident as “extremely violent,” adding that it appeared to be an act of revenge meant to teach her a lesson.
Police Yet to Comment
By the time of publishing this report, it was not clear whether the victim had filed a complaint or sought medical attention. Authorities are yet to issue a statement regarding the matter, though the video has sparked outrage online.
Many Kenyans have condemned the act, saying that while betrayal in relationships is painful, violence should never be the solution. Others, however, argued that the lady’s alleged actions provoked the attack.
Social Media Reactions
The video has since gone viral, with social media users sharing mixed reactions. Some called for her attackers to be arrested, while others said the incident highlights the rising tension in youthful relationships and the growing trend of social media exposure in private matters.
As investigations continue, online users are being reminded to handle disputes through lawful and peaceful means rather than resorting to violence.
