Somali TikTok Creators Spark Nationwide Outrage Over Reckless Roadside Stunts Endangering Lives in Kenya

A group of Somali TikTok creators has caused outrage. They perform dangerous stunts on busy roads. Their goal is to grab attention. They break traffic rules and block vehicles. Drivers and commuters are shocked.

The creators work in small groups. They set up cameras to record. They jump into the middle of the road. Vehicles speed past them. They dodge at the last second. Some sit or stand on the tarmac. One video shows a man high fiving a friend before a bus knocks him down. Another shows three women walking on a busy road. A woman raises her arms as motorbikes pass close.

Eyewitnesses say the stunts happen near the Muthaiga underpass. Social media users are furious. Many demand arrests. “This is recklessness. It’s crime, not content,” one wrote. Others warn about drivers. “If a creator slips, the driver carries the trauma forever,” said Joseph Nzioka.

Critics say TikTokers treat roads as sets. They ignore danger to themselves and others. Roads are for commuters, logistics and emergency vehicles. Yet the creators chase likes. Experts warn the trend mixes attention-seeking with life-threatening risks. Authorities are urged to act fast.

The videos keep spreading online. The debate over social media safety continues. Some see it as fun. Most call for regulation. Awareness campaigns and stricter enforcement are needed to save lives.
