When a police officer manning the traffic-packed Magadi Road on Friday attempted to stop a speeding Subaru saloon car which was being driven recklessly along the highway, he had no idea it would turn into a full-blown dramatic road pursuit which led them all the way to the Karen.
As if the rogue driver’s guts to ignore all orders to stop and even attempting to push the traffic officer off the road multiple time was not shocking enough, when the pursuit finally ended at the Karen Country Club, more drama ensued as the man behind the wheel turned out to be a senior police officer himself, attached to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) department.
The drunk and disorderly sleuth is said to have stopped his vehicle, furiously alighted and started fighting the traffic police officer who had relentlessly trailed him all the way from Ongata Rongai.
It took the quick intervention of security guards manning the country club’s entrance to stop the scuffle which was almost slowly escalating into a full brawl between the traffic officer and the top cop now identified as Nicholas Kiptoo and who has since been apprehended.
Below is a full police report of the incident, as well as the shocking video which shows how impunity prevails in Uhuru Kenyatta’s catastrophic regime.
