IAN NJOROGE Reveals Why He Assaulted A Police Officer In Mirema
A motorist who assaulted and injured a traffic police officer during a traffic stop in Mirema has revealed the reason for his shocking action.
The suspect, identified as Ian Njoroge, was seized on Sunday evening at his residence in the Jacaranda district of Kayole, Nairobi, as part of an operation organized by the Nairobi DCI.
Shortly after his detention, he was subjected to a brief but brutal interrogation by police.
In a video obtained by AfricasNow, a shackled Njoroge is seen answering questions posed by two officers. He was initially asked to reveal his parents’ employment.
“My father is a teacher at Mavoko Boys Secondary School and my mother is a businesswoman selling lab equipment,” said Njoroge.
Their dialogue ensued after as the officer asked “Where did you train” and Njoroge said, “I have not trained.”

“Where did you learn to hit an officer? I have never hit an officer before. Today was my first time.”
During their heated exchange, the officer asked Njoroge where he got the confidence to punch a police officer, prompting him to divulge the reason for the argument.
“I was just angry. We were not understanding each other because he wanted a lot of money which I could not get…” the interrogating officer quickly interjected “What are you saying?”
The officer then went on to ask Njoroge to utter slurs about himself.
“Sema wewe ni wazimu (Say you are a fool),” said the officer.
“Mimi ni wazimu kabisa (I am a fool).”
Said another officer: “Wewe ni ng’ombe (you’re a cow)”
The interrogating officer had the last word “Mbwa wewe, unaskia (You are a dog you hear me?”
