Dishonest boda boda rider forced to return customer's change

It all started when a humble middleman, living with a disability, picked a motorbike in one of the picking bays to ferry him to his destination. As the ride ended, the unsuspecting passenger handed the rider a KSh 1,000 note to settle a fare of just KSh 50.

But what followed left jaws on the floor.

Instead of returning the KSh 950 balance, the rogue rider kicked his bike to life and sped off, vanishing into the bustling streets after making "early kill".

Confused and stranded, the disabled man refused to swallow the injustice. Gathering courage, he made his way back to the pickup stage, hoping someone would recognize the dishonest rider.

As fate would have it, just minutes after the aggrieved passenger arrived back at the stage, the cunning rider returned clueless that trouble was brewing.

Before he could even park, his fellow riders descended on him with a storm of questions and fury others baying for his blood. A heated exchange erupted as they demanded he return the stolen money. Tensions flared, voices rose, and a crowd began to gather.

Cornered and out of excuses, the rider finally pulled out the full Ksh 1,000 note and handed it back to the embarrassed young man. But it wasn’t over.

His colleagues, enraged by the betrayal of trust and the stain he had cast on their reputation, gave a clear and stern warning demanding that he leave the stage and not to come back.

With his head bowed in shame, the rider rode off, humiliated and exiled from the stage he once called home.
