A 60-year-old man from Murang'a has narrated how he lost KSh 700,000 within one week to a lady he found at a bar in Maragua town.
Tom Ikonya had just disposed of an asset worth the aforementioned mentioned cash and in the spirit of celebrating the good deal, he went to a bar situated along Police Road.
Speaking to Nation, Ikonya bitterly recounted that he went to the bar on the afternoon of November 10 while loaded, but by November 17, he was cashless and stranded.

While at the bar, he took eight beers but paid KSh 6,320.
All that time, the sexagenarian said a certain lady was by his side. He said she appeared genuinely concerned about him and he trusted her.
At around 10.45pm on the fateful day, the man said the bar attendant informed them that they were about to close.
Being late in the night, the man said he wanted to take a room, but the 'concerned' woman proposed that they go to her place.
Ikonya said that his male friend warned him against the woman. However, she kissed him on the lips and forgot the warning.

After several kisses, the man followed the lady; they boarded a motorcycle and proceeded to her house, where she stayed alone.
In the house, he "bathed, ate and slept like a king"
He stayed in the house for six days and his routine was waking up, praying with the woman, bathing, taking breakfast, venturing out and into different bars and retiring back to the house for the night.
The man intended to use part of the KSh 700,000 to start a boiled meat business.
Having discussed the project, the woman drew him a budget totalling KSh 250,000, but he asked him to withdraw KSh 350,000.
After four days, the woman informed him that she had paid for the business premises and was looking for workers who understood the said business.
She further demanded KSh 100,000 to pay for other licences and another loan of KSh 50,000 for her emergency.

On the sixth day, at around 4pm, the man said the woman excused herself, informing him that she would be back after an hour.
However, at 10pm, the woman had not returned and her phone was off.
With no hard cash on him, Ikonya proceeded to an ATM to withdraw cash to pay for the drinks.
While at the ATM lobby, the man was surprised to learn that he only had KSh 8.78 as the only available balance.
At 10.30pm, he proceeded to the woman's house but was locked from the outside.
On calling her, she informed him that her military husband was home from Somalia and they were at a nearby bar.
He called his brother, who transferred KSh 10,000 to him to pay the bar bill.
On the following day, he returned to his home in Ruiru to reflect on how he had lost the cash within that short period.
