Unexpectedly, the people he thought would help him contact the thief and repossess the phone laughed at him as they pretended to help him hunt the phone snatcher.
According to Momanyi, he later discovered that the people who were pretending to help him get the snatcher were associated with the phone snatcher.
“Nikiingia hili jiji sikujua kwamba ni shamba la mawe. Nimeingia mjini na simu ya Siemens halafu wakati huo nilikuwa ninajishasha nina simu ya kitaa na ikija, mwanangu nilikuwa kijana wa kwanza wa mtaa kuwa nayo. Sasa acha nitembezwe mjini sehemu fulani hapo Global Cinema na sikujua wenyeji wanalijua jiji kuliko mie.
