Kenyan residents of Murang’a were duped into wearing female panties, which were fashioned and presented as facemasks by unscrupulous dealers.
A section of the residents were now moving around wearing panties disguised as facemasks.
Some of the residents who spoke to the media confirmed this con and said they had been lured into buying the masks because they were cheap.
The flimsy masks cost Ksh.20 a piece which is very little money in Kenya.
The residents are not confident that the masks will suffice in protecting them from catching the coronavirus.
The conned residents said they only realized they were wearing panties, long after they had already bought the masks.
The residents have now appealed to the government to supply them with the proper and appropriate masks, as they fear the ones they have will not protect them.
