A suspected thief has been saved from mob justice and imminent lynching by two catholic nuns.
Photos going viral show a group visibly agitated Kenyans descending on the man along Harry Thuku Road near Museum Hill with blood soaking his clothes.
On cornering the man, the crowd forced him to sit down on the pedestrian walk awaiting their final verdict.
In one the photos, a boda boda rider is seen raising a massive brick ready to smash the villain.
However, in an act of bravery, the Catholic nuns witnessing the scene took it upon themselves to intervene and save the man from the glaring death despite being clearly outnumbered.
They were captured physically shielding the man from the mob that was baying for his blood.
