Residents of Bamburi Estate in Mombasa County were on Wednesday treated to drama when two people suspected to have stolen a car walked on the streets naked, with a snake dangling from the neck of one of them, while the other held a tablet.
This is after the owner of the stolen car sought the intervention of a witchdoctor leading to the two walking naked covered in mud.
The incident caused traffic snarl-ups along the Mtambo Road with members of public taking photos of the suspects.
The owner of the vehicle had reported the theft incident five days ago at Kiembene Police Station, and one of her friends asked her to seek an alternative intervention.
The witchdoctor demanded Sh100, 000 for the service and this bore fruit as the two men on Wednesday were seen dancing naked in the streets.

The two men were taken to Bamburi Police Station after which the witchdoctor requested to take them to her house for cleansing.
She also asked anyone who had touched the vehicle to avail themselves for purging.
Four suspects have been arrested over the car theft and witchcraft drama in Bamburi, Mombasa County. Kisauni OCPD Christopher Rotich said the incident was choreographed to advertise a sorcery business.
The snake was taken away by the Kenya Wildlife Service personnel.
