In the fluorescent half-light of Nairobi’s central business district, the shop once pulsed with the quiet hum of commerce, rows of sealed laptops, gleaming smartphones, and boxed electronics stacked with almost clinical precision.
By dawn, it was a hollowed shell.
The target was the electronics store owned by TikTok personality Moses Mwangi, better known as Mr Bingo, located at Twiga Towers.
Sometime after nightfall, a group of men moved in with the discipline of a rehearsed crew and the patience of men who knew time was on their side.
By morning, merchandise worth more than KSh 16 million had vanished.
The night the camera watched
The CCTV footage, grainy, timestamped, and indifferent, tells the story in fragments.
At 9:59 p.m., a man believed to be the ringleader appears, leaning casually into conversation with the security guards.
There is nothing hurried about him. He gestures lightly, almost conversationally, like a customer killing time. Then, the rhythm changes.
About an hour later, one guard slumps. Another is dragged, limp, across the frame. Investigators suspect the guards were drugged and neutralised without noise and without struggle. What follows is methodical.
A silent, systematic extraction
The men reappear just after 1 a.m., now moving with purpose. Within minutes, 12, according to investigators, of the shop’s defences being breached.
The footage inside reveals silhouettes weaving through aisles, swiftly and expertly lifting boxes.
No smashing, no chaos. This is extraction.
Outside, a vehicle stands ready, akin to a silent accomplice. One by one, the suspects transport the goods—laptops, phones, and sealed cartons—with each trip calculated and unhurried.

The operation stretches across nearly two hours, a slow bleed of inventory into the night.
On social media, clips of the heist have circulated widely, framed as both spectacle and warning.
“They stole everything,” reads one caption, echoing the stark reality captured on camera.
When Mr Bingo returned the next morning, the imagery shifted from surveillance to aftermath. Shelves stood bare.
Torn packaging littered the floor like shed skin. Chargers, small and almost trivial, were among the few items left behind, overlooked or deemed worthless in the sweep.

He walked through the wreckage slowly, opening empty boxes as if hoping the contents might reappear. They did not.
“I have people’s money,” he said later, describing debts tied to the stolen stock.
“And it is gone.”
Police say they are reviewing the footage and closing in on suspects.
