A 21-year-old man identified as Atony Yonga was shot dead by a detective after he allegedly assaulted a police officer at Majengo Bus Station in Nairobi. The case was reported to Shauri Moyo Police Station.
Officers who witnessed the incident said they were on foot patrol around the bus station when they came across a man who was armed with a pen knife assaulting a traffic police officer.
The assaulted police was controlling traffic flow along the Majengo Road when the incident happened.
“He punched the officer on the neck from behind. The officer turned around and using a baton, he restrained the man to stop him from attacking him further. The man instead fished out a penknife and attempted to stab the officer,” the colleagues reported.
They added that an officer who was passing by intervened and tried to arrest the stranger who resisted. That is when the detective shot him.
A government pathologist was then ordered to carry out a postmortem on the deceased.
