In a separate incident, a police officer stationed at Makongeni Police Station in Nairobi narrowly escaped a violent mob’s wrath after a fatal accident on Lusaka Road on Friday evening.
The incident occurred at around 6:45 pm when the officer, driving an Isuzu NQR Canter, was heading towards City Stadium.
Upon reaching Lusaka Road, the officer hit a male pedestrian, who tragically died on the spot. The situation quickly escalated as angry boda boda riders and members of the public confronted the officer, seeking to exact their form of justice.
