Boda boda operators who were standing nearby abandoned their works and jumped into action to "spoil their livers."

A video which was captured at the scene on Sunday, January 26, afternoon showed the drunkards, who majorly were men, stealing from the vehicle and making away with the bottles.

Police officers who arrived at the scene had a rough time chasing the drunkards who were determined to loot the alcohol.

Those who get drunk at the first bottle were heard singing and praising God for the Sunday blessings after a long dry January.

So wild was the loot that it caught attention of the Consumer Federation of Kenya (COFEK) which warned them against consuming the drink citing it was not suitable for human consumption.

"Be very careful. Never consume bottled drinks from a fallen truck like the one with beer which fell over in Westlands. The drinks are likely to have small broken parts that could be ingested into your system and cause huge health damage in the long run," said COFEK in a Twitter post.

However, it was not the first time for such a case in Kenya given in October 2019 similar scenes were witnessed when a DHL truck ferrying beer overturned at Roysambu roundabout.
