WILLIS RABURU RECOVERS STOLEN PHONE, CHOOSES TO FORGIVE SUSPECT

Prominent media personality Willis Raburu has successfully recovered his Samsung Galaxy Fold phone, which was stolen during an event at the Carnivore on October 4.

The recovery was the result of a collaborative effort involving the public, social media users, the Kibera Police Station, and Raburu’s security team. The breakthrough came from a unique security feature on the device; after the individual who had the phone input the wrong lock code multiple times, the phone automatically took his picture and emailed it to Raburu.

In an update shared on his social media, Raburu said, “We found the phone! Thank you so much to all the social media DCI who helped. We found his home, found him, his job and spoke to his family all because of your help.”

He specifically acknowledged the efforts of the authorities, stating, “Thanks to the Kibera police station folks and my security team for the great collaboration.”

He revealed that he and his team chose not to press charges against the suspect. “We decided not to press charges but we have let him go with a warning. Whatever happens from here to Mr. B should he resort to his old ways is on him!” Raburu stated.

Raburu credited the ‘Crookcatcher’ app for its role in identifying the suspect and facilitating the recovery.
