On November 15th, the crime watch, an organization in Kenya urged police officers to work hand in hand with bodaboda operators in curbing increased insecurity cases in Kenya. This came after a viral CCTV footage of armed robbers using motorbikes to steal from innocent Kenyans was on the rise.

The society urged the bodaboda operators to work swiftly with the personnel to protect their reputation.

"We call upon Boda Boda men and Kenyans, in general, to work closely with security agents to smoke out criminals committing crimes against our mothers, brothers, and sisters".

The crime Watch reported a case that happened in Kilimani on Monday 14th where a phone snatcher was bitten and killed by bodaboda operators.
