Monday, March 10, 2025 - A police officer attached to Parliament opened fire during a dispute at a bar in Gigiri, Nairobi, fatally shooting one colleague and injuring another before being subdued by fellow officers.
The officer, identified as Nahashon Kipkosgey Limo, was
among a group that had gathered for a meal and drinks on Sunday night when an
argument escalated.
During the altercation, he drew his Jericho pistol and
fired, striking Constable Eric Muga of Runda Police Station, who died on the
spot.
Corporal Philip Kae, who serves at the Judiciary, sustained
gunshot wounds to the abdomen and was rushed to hospital.
Patrons and officers at the scene scrambled for safety as
gunfire rang out before security personnel overpowered the shooter and
confiscated his firearm, which was still loaded with 14 rounds of ammunition.
He was taken into custody and is expected to face charges.
Authorities have described the incident as isolated but
acknowledged growing concerns over similar cases.
There have been repeated instances of officers turning their
weapons on colleagues, with stress and mental health struggles among police
officers cited as contributing factors.
