After close of work it was a little late so I decided to board a taxi. A few
kilometers to reach Nchiraa, we saw that some people on two motorbikes were
flashing us with torchlights to stop. We thought a vehicle has broken down so
we slowed down only to see they were robbers. A female nurse who joined us was
shot to death. They fired three times and killed her, put their hands in her
pocket and took everything. It happened around 7:30pm. I suspect the guns used
were AK47”
