Wearing a Manchester United 2025/26 away jersey, he was seen entering the butchery in the evening. He picked up a plastic cup from one of the tables while glancing at the unmanned counter.

The man pretended to pour water into the cup, even though no water came out of the jug. He then shifted his position to the opposite side of the table, facing the counter and peeped over it. After checking outside to see if anyone was coming, he made a move toward the counter but immediately stepped back and resumed pretending to pour water into the cup.

After setting the cup down near the jug, he stood still for a moment as if contemplating his next move. He looked to his right, then to his left, reached out for an item on the counter, pocketed it, and walked away confidently. He left everything else intact, including some vegetables on display, clearly, he was after only one thing.

By now tungekuwa tunasikia yuko ndani na ameukumiwa.” Evelyne Kwamboka Wa Ombati: “Hata hakuna maji kwa jug! Anakunywa empty cup. Hakuna kitu kibaya kama tamaa ya kutaka kitu bure. Watu wajitume wafanye kazi, mtu na ndevu zake elfu moja weeeu!” Maggy Joseph: “Hawa ni wale wakichukua simu yako wapate tu line ya Safaricom ndani, wanakufagia kila kitu, bank, M-Pesa, Mshwari, wanakopa loan kila mahali.” Sipendi Matata: “Halafu wakipata mwizi wamchome watu huwa za ‘oh huyu ni babake mtu, oh ni bwanake mtu, mngemsamehe’. Mnasahau hata hiyo simu ni ya bwanake na babake mtu.” Frank Cool Ruler: “He took time to pour water into the glass to buy time in case someone entered unexpectedly.” Nancy Tash: “Does the devil only attack the poor? I’ve never seen rich people being exorcised. Ama devil huwa na standard?”
