A man, only identified by his social media name as Asaad (@_skili) has narrated how he lost his motorbike, one day after completing his loan.
The heartbroken man says he bought the motorbike in April Last year using Watu Africa credit loan.
He says he paid a deposit of 15K and he has been struggling each day for the last 390 days.
“Bro, I’m so sad right now. Around April last year, niliamua kuchukua hii bike ya loan from WATU Africa. I paid a deposit of 15K and I have been struggling each day for the last 390 days to pay it off.” Said @_skili.
The man has shared the phone messages showing he completed the loan after paying whooping ksh235,000 for the whole period.
The same day, he says he came back home at around 5p.m and parked his motorbike outside.
“At exactly 9:30pm , I did my usual routine and went to park it inside the plot where I stay. I parked it behind two other bikes. One other motorbike parks outside.” He said.
He woke up early Inthe morning and to his surprise, the bike wasn’t there.
The irony here is that the other two bike were still in place but the one he bought using the loan isn’t.
“So today, naingia hustle at around 4:30a.m alafu to my disbelief, sioni bike!! I have never been this weak bro, wueh! 😭😭😭 I was so confused manze.”
“Immediately I went to the Maasai who guards the parking lot, I found them deep asleep. Nilichoka tu!!”
The man says he called Watu Credit emergency line to reports and was advised to report to the nearest police station.
He faithfully obeyed their directive and reported the matter at Jogoo Road police station.
As the man was reporting the issue at the station, to his surprise, there was another report of a stolen motorbike. The complainant had also cleared his loan around a week before. How?
What bothered the man most is that for Watu credit, they have trackers and if you default for one month the lending company will smoke you out of your hideout.
“For anyone who knows a thing or two about “nduthis”, you have definitely heard about WATU CREDIT. They have trackers for all their motorbikes across the whole country. Try and default the loan for 2 months and I promise you, they will find you at your hiding spot.”
The man recalled, with evidence, that around December, he had given out the motorbike to a certain rider who decided to play smart. He disappeared with it and he did the same process where they ask you when you report a missing bike.
The man says the motorbike was recovered within two hours.
He says they had called him back and told him the tracker indicated that the bike was in Nakuru and later on, it was in Siaya. Their emergency team helped him track it and he finally got hold of the rider.
The man says he has keenly done the same process now, and it has been 5 hours since calling their emergency team but the calls goes unanswered.
The man has since shared the call logs to prove his case.
He says the last piece of communication the Emergency operator gave him, ” Quincy, kuwa mpole. We have allocated an officer to investigate the matter. He will be in touch”
The man says he has so many questions about this matter.
“There is a motorbike theft syndicate that works with WATU to steal motorcycles after you finish clearing the loan.”
“This is not the first case. You have probably heard of a similar incident.”
“WATU CREDIT have unlimited access to their tracking services. I reported this matter and they have even refused to disclose to me when and where the tracker was last seen.”
“Please help me tag the police and all the relevant authorities.”
At the time of going live, Watu credit had not responded to the alleged claims.
