Woman Who Locked Kanjo In Her Car And Drove Him Around Loses TikTok Account

A Nairobi resident who went viral for confronting a Nairobi County enforcement officer, popularly known as Kanjo after entering her vehicle without her permission, has lost her TikTok account.

The woman known as Ntazola Gloria lamented that the social media platform banned her account after it was widely reported regarding the incident which went viral. Spot checks by Viral Tea on her account confirm this.

“TikTok got rid of my account, it’s permanently banned, this is my new account,” she shared on her Instagram page.

Ntazola used the opportunity to explain to her followers the incident which began when the county officer gained access to her car out of the blue while she was parking in town to attend to her errands.

She argued that this was no isolated incident as the same officer repeatedly made attempts to enter her car without her consent.

"When that guy entered my car it was without my permission. I was trying to just park my car in town. That was not his first time. He has done that to me a lot of times so I was just tired of him,” she once again defended her online rant at the Kanjo man.

“I’m safe, I’m okay. I’ve lost my TikTok account, it’s okay and at least people have seen what these do to other people. How they treat people is not cool. Yeah, so you can follow my new account.”

Ntazola went on to disclose that she was going to be taking a break from TikTok for an unspecified period, imploring Governor Johnson Sakaja to address the recent conduct of county officers across the city.

In the five-minute video seen by Viral Tea, Ntazola was heard angrily and verbally compelling the officer to explain why he entered her car in response to an alleged parking offence.

Surprised by the officer's daring actions, she defended herself by stating that she did not commit any offence to warrant him entering her car.

"Why have you entered my car? Why are you people like that? Was that an offence to make you get into my car?

"I'm going with you to my destination because why would you get into my car? Are you a traffic police?" she posed in anger.

The officer took a defensive stance by insisting that there must have been a misunderstanding and suggested that they could have resolved the matter without resorting to such measures.

He could be heard pleading with Ntazola for forgiveness for his actions just as she was threatening to drive to her destination with him inside.

"Don't be like that, madam, please. You could just explain yourself, madam. Why are you abusing me? Can't we speak?" the officer begged

"I'm going with you to my place. We are going to Ngong town. I am not going to work now because you wanted a road trip," she retorted. 

The officer was then seen making a phone call to his colleague and informed him that they were along State House Road. Towards the end of the clip, they were seen driving along the Nairobi Expressway, all while the lady expressed her frustration. 

While the law does not adversely mention the regulations for county enforcement officers entering private cars, the Traffic Act 2015 section (12) explains circumstances under which a police officer can enter a private vehicle.

According to the Act, any police officer with a uniform is allowed to stop any vehicle on the road and enter it during routine inspections.

"It shall be lawful for any police officer in uniform to stop any vehicle, and for any police officer, licensing officer or inspector, (a) to enter any vehicle; (b) to drive any vehicle or cause any vehicle to be driven; 

"(c) upon reasonable suspicion of any offence under this Act, to order and require the owner of any vehicle to bring the vehicle to him," the Traffic Act (CAP 403) reads in part.

It further states that any person who fails to comply with any instructions given under this section shall be guilty of an offence and liable on a first conviction, to a fine not exceeding Ksh30,000, and for a second or subsequent conviction, to a fine not exceeding Ksh50,000 or to imprisonment for a term of one year.
