FILMMAKER EDU GEE RELEASES GRIPPING NEW FILM ON AIR BASED ON REAL NAIROBI ROBBERY GONE WRONG

Kenyan filmmaker Edwin Nyongesa, popularly known as Edu Gee, has released his latest cinematic masterpiece, On Air, a high-stakes thriller based on the shocking true events of a botched Nairobi robbery that spiralled into a dramatic hostage standoff in 2010.

The film revisits the harrowing incident where a gang attempted to rob an M-Pesa shop, only for their plan to go terribly wrong. Forced to flee, one of the robbers took refuge in Pioneer Estate, holding residents hostage in a tense siege that lasted hours. 

In a surreal twist, the armed fugitive called Ghetto Radio live on air, calmly engaging with presenters as police surrounded the house. The standoff ended in a fierce shootout with the Recce Squad, culminating in the robber’s death.

On Air takes a unique approach by dramatising the events from the radio presenters’ perspective, blending real-life audio with cinematic intensity. 

Edu Gee masterfully reconstructs the chaos, fear, and psychological tension of that fateful day, offering audiences a gripping narrative anchored in true crime.

The film features a stellar Kenyan cast, including Daniel Muturi, Matayo Randu, Wanjira Longauer, Richard Ndege and Khalfan Shakily, who bring raw emotion and authenticity to the screen.
