Where did Congolese man meet these Kenyan women?
Narrating the story on her TikTok account, the Kenyan lady identified as Vanessa Grace revealed the eloquent Congolese man hangs around Yaya Centre, in Kilimani, where he 'hunts' for women.
Vanessa recalled when she and her friend had gone to Yaya Centre to a pharmacy when the nicely dressed man approached her friend.
"He told her he was friends with the deputy president of Kenya and funny stories," she recalled.
They exchanged numbers, and he asked her to meet him for a business discussion.
"When the day for meeting came, he asked her where they could meet, and she said a popular hotel in Hurlingham, but he came up with an excuse and asked to meet at a different place," she recalled.
Vanessa accompanied her friend and had to wait for an hour before he arrived.
"When he came, he told us to eat anything. They all ordered food, and after he finished eating, he pretended he had a call and disappeared. If you see such a man around Yaya Centre, run, sister."
Vanessa and her friend were forced to foot the KSh 7,500 bill.
"He chatted me. He said he got so busy he had to rush somewhere. He promised to send the money but upto date he's never," Vanessa said.
