The Makadara law court shooting incident happened in the afternoon, and a senior police officer was not pleased with the ruling in the court case involving his wife.
Principal Magistrate Monica Kivuti is currently under medical care after sustaining a gunshot wound during a shootout at Makadara Law Courts.
Reports suggest that the gunman was the accused’s husband, who allegedly opened fire on the magistrate after his wife’s bail was revoked for failing to attend court.
Court orderlies immediately neutralised him. An incident took place in Court Room 9.
After she delivered a ruling in a case involving the wife of a senior police officer from Kericho County (later identified as the OCS Londiani), who had travelled to Nairobi for the hearing, someone targeted her in the thigh.
The court was sitting in a tent outside the main courtrooms due to a lack of space, and soon after the magistrate ruled on the matter, the police officer went behind the tent, where he made an attempt on her life using a Ceska pistol.
Scenes that preceded unfortunate events. Everybody is fighting a battle. According to sources, the Londiani Police Station had some of the most corrupt traffic officers.
