A Kenyan woman found herself in an embarrassing situation after loan recovery agents tracked her to her home and found her hiding under her bed to avoid them.
The agents had reportedly made several unsuccessful attempts to reach the woman before finally showing up at her door.
According to accounts of the incident, things escalated quickly when the agents threatened to remove her along with her bed if she did not cooperate, prompting her to slide underneath it in a last-ditch effort to avoid them.
Woman Refuses to Come Out From Under Bed
When the agents entered the bedroom and found her there, an exchange followed that was equal parts tense and comical.
Rather than acknowledge she was hiding, the woman insisted she had simply been resting there, maintaining her composure even as the agents grew visibly frustrated.
“Can you please get out from under the bed and pay us the loan? What do you mean you sleep under the bed? What are you doing there? Who got you down there? Can you get out? You are a grown woman hiding as your children watch; what example are you setting for them?” one of the agents demanded.
The woman held her ground, insisting the house was hers and she could occupy any corner of it she pleased.
“I am sleeping; please shut off the lights, move aside so I can also come out. This is my house I can go wherever I want. Did I steal from anyone?” she replied.
Agents Lose Patience as Daughter Pleads for Calm
The agents were not convinced and made it clear they had not issued the loan from beneath any piece of furniture, pressing her to settle her debt without further delay.
“Can you pay faster so we leave your house? You are being very troublesome,” one of the agents said.
A young girl, believed to be the woman’s daughter, could be heard in the background urging the agents to exercise patience and allow her mother to emerge from under the bed at her own pace.
The woman eventually came out, but her unconventional strategy did little to improve her situation, as the agents remained on scene until the matter was addressed.
