Bonfire Adventures CEO Simon Kabu recently disclosed that an anonymous Nairobi biker, known only as Brayo the Biker, turned down a substantial Ksh 5 million offer to remove his helmet.
The mystery surrounding the identity of the renowned rider continues to intrigue the public. The biker has consistently refused to uncover his face, despite escalating financial incentives.
Escalating Offers
Brayo the Biker, who rides across Nairobi, is famous for keeping his identity completely hidden.
According to Simon Kabu, this refusal is not new. The biker had previously been challenged with significant monetary offers.
Kabu noted that Brayo the Biker had been offered Ksh 3.2 million earlier. He refused this initial offer to take off his protective headgear.
In a dialogue shared from their recent meeting, Kabu mentioned the previous refusals. The conversation suggested the challenge was well-known among observers.
The KSh 5 Million Challenge
The intrigue deepened when Bonfire Adventures CEO Simon Kabu decided to personally intervene. Kabu stated that he decided to raise the stakes considerably.
He made a fresh offer of Ksh 5 million (Mita Tano) to the anonymous figure. Kabu recounted the moment, confirming he put the offer directly to the biker.
“I even offered him Mita Tano (5M) and he refused,” Kabu wrote on social media.
During their exchange, the CEO urged the biker to take the money.
“Take five, bro, take five,” Kabu insisted to the rider.
Brayo the Biker was unwavering, however, and flatly refused the Ksh 5 million payout.
“He had been offered 3.2m atoe Helmet and he refused,” Kabu explained. The CEO also questioned publicly: “Huyu Brayo Biker Nairobi huwa nani? Kwa nini hatoi Helmet?”.
The Context of the High-Stakes Meeting
This unusual negotiation took place during a significant event for Nairobi’s biking community.
Kabu, his daughter Maurine Kabu, and other bikers had gathered for a welcome ceremony. They were greeting fellow rider Mustapha Konvict.
Konvict had just completed an extraordinary motorcycle journey. He had ridden all the way from South Africa. This epic journey covered a vast distance. The ride took 43 days to complete.
In total, Konvict traveled over 16,000 kilometers (16k kms). It was during the reception for this long-distance rider that Kabu encountered the elusive Brayo.
The biker’s commitment to anonymity, despite the massive financial incentive of Ksh 5 million, leaves fans and business leaders equally baffled. The mystery rider seems intent on protecting his identity, regardless of the cost to him.
