Kenyan content creator Tesoti has recounted an alleged home invasion.
The Kenyan content creator says two intruders threatened her and stole household items, drawing concern and questions online.
Kenyan content creator Tesoti has described an alleged knife-point ordeal after two men entered her home at about 3am. She said the intruders threatened her before taking several household items.
In an Instagram Stories video shared on November 9, Tesoti said an intruder woke her with a knife pointed at her face. The men then ordered her to stay silent while they carried out the robbery, she said.
Tesoti also alleged that she narrowly escaped sexual assault during the incident. She appeared shaken as she recounted the encounter.
She listed a television, radio, gas cylinder, bedsheets and a lesso among the stolen belongings. According to her account, the intruders also pulled out a power socket while disconnecting the television.
Knife-point ordeal draws concern and questions online
Tesoti later broke down in tears during a TikTok live session as viewers responded to her account. Some expressed sympathy, while others urged her to report the alleged robbery to police.
However, other social media users questioned parts of her description of the incident. They asked why the intruders would take items such as bedsheets but leave her phone behind.
Her account comes amid wider concerns about violent crime and security at home in Nairobi. The US Embassy in Kenya lists home invasion among violent crimes reported in the country. Its list also includes armed carjacking, mugging, sexual assault and kidnapping for ransom.
