The woman said that she was afraid of being killed by her boss, who wanted to beat her and grab her phone without a reason.
“I need help. These people want to kill me. You see, the one behind me is following me. Her mother wants to beat me and grab my phone without a reason. I am also wondering why she is following me. Her mother wants me to work in three houses. Did I come here to be mistreated? They mistreat me daily and rant. I want to return to my home,” the woman said in the video.
The video has gone viral on social media, with many users expressing sympathy and outrage over the woman’s plight.

Separately, an agent who claimed to have ties with Qatari employers asked for KSh 30,000 from a Nakuru family that wanted their son employed.
The young man's mother decided to secure a loan from a women's group, hoping the deal would materialise.
It ultimately turned out to be a fleecing scheme, as the said agent went missing after receiving the money.
