Nairobi County Officer in charge of Citizen Engagement and Customer Service, Geoffrey Mosiria, has exposed what he says is a growing network of illegal brothels operating under the guise of massage parlours in Kilimani and other parts of the city.

In a video shared on his social media platforms, Mosiria disguised himself as a potential client seeking massage services and a so-called “happy ending.”

He warned viewers before sharing the clip, captioning it: “KILIMANI BROTHELS EXPOSED!! Viewer discretion advised. 18 years and above.”

Mosiria said many of the massage signages seen across Kilimani are illegal and unlicensed. “Most of the massage signages you see, especially those with graphics that suggest sexuality and only display a phone number, are illegal and not licensed by the county government,” he stated.

According to the county officer, the establishments operate from Airbnbs within residential estates, making them difficult to detect.

“Most of these establishments are actually brothels operating illegal prostitution businesses,” Mosiria noted, adding that many put up their signages at night to evade enforcement.

He also raised concerns over alleged blackmail schemes targeting clients. “In the process of engaging in these illegal activities, they are secretly recorded using hidden cameras, and the footage is later used to extort money,” he warned.

Appealing directly to families, Mosiria said secrecy surrounding such activities has contributed to broken homes.

“I am also appealing to married women to closely monitor their men, especially when they say they are visiting friends in Airbnbs,” he said.

While undercover and using the alias “Musyoka,” Mosiria is heard in the video negotiating services. “Mimi naitwa Musyoka… nataka ile iko na happy ending na nifanye na wasichana watatu,” he says. He was allegedly quoted Sh6,000 per woman.

“No leader may have the courage to condemn these acts, but I believe this is the right time to expose this rot in society,” Mosiria said, calling for collective action to protect families and communities.
