Thursday, January 30, 2025 - A bodyguard attached to Laikipia Governor Joshua Irungu is reported to have taken his own life inside a rental house in Nanyuki town.
The
deceased officer, who has worked with the governor since assuming office in
September 2022, shot himself through the mouth, with the bullet exiting through
the back of the head.
Laikipia
East police boss John Tarus confirmed the tragic incident.
“It
is true the governor’s bodyguard has died after shooting himself through the
mouth. He did not leave a suicide note and the body has been taken to the
Nanyuki Teaching and Referral Hospital mortuary,” the police boss said.
On
the fateful day the officer took his life, he took a boda boda from Nanyuki
town to his home, three kilometres away.
He
had instructed the rider to wait for him so that they could go back to the town
together.
The
rider heard a gunshot, prompting him to report the incident at a local police
station.
The deceased bodyguard’s last official assignment was last Monday and according to his colleagues, he looked jovial and displayed no signs of disturbance.
