Jane Mugo trended for the better part of the day Monday after the BBC Africa Eye documentary aired the video that captures her interesting life and work went viral. Majority of those who expressed their views online felt BBC Africa took them for a ride.

The BBC Africa teaser on social media read:

She also boasted to be the best detective in the world and celebrated worldwide.
However, Kenyans who watched the documentary were not impressed at all and many poked fun at the piece.
