Police Release Names Of Cops Who Assaulted Allan Omondi, The JKUAT Student

Police constables George Wathania, Kibet Chemipei and Boniface Muthama are the officers recorded clobbering Allan Omondi, the JKUAT student who was caught while running to safety.

The students who were demonstrating the increased insecurity in Juja clashed with anti-riot police and, as some alleged on social media, angry locals who were supporting the police brutality.

National Police Service Commission Chairman Eliud Kinuthia said the fourth officer was yet to be identified.

“The identification of the 4th police officer is delaying because, it’s a process, and the angle of the image on what is happening needs assurance and should be right. It is not yet set on which date or how long the investigation will take,” said Kinuthia.

The three police officers who have been identified have since been interdicted to allow for investigations before further disciplinary action is taken against them.
