On 9 February 1970, John Kiggia Kimani and some other gangsters assalt the Barclays Bank of Nakuru. They steal 300 thousand shillings; it's one of the biggest holp-up of the whole Kenyan history.

18 years after, in 1988, John Kiggia Kimani writes the story of it all, in Life and Times of a Bank Robber.
