Reports of an officer identified as Joel Kieti Kilonzi being attacked after dropping former Deputy President Kalonzo Musyoka have been dismissed by the police.

A report of the incident, which was filed at Embakasi Police Station under OB number 13/06/07/2020, turned out to be false.

According to a report seen by Nyakundi Report, detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) attached to Karen Police Station visited Mr Musyoka's home and found out that he had no escort known as Kilonzi.

They then proceeded to Industrial Area Remand Prison where the said officer works and traced him through his in-charge and his statement recorded.

In his statement, the officer said that he never left the prison's compound on July 5 and that he has never been an escort to the former DP.

Lang'ata police boss Gregory Mutiso dismissed the reports that the escort was attacked, stating that 'nothing of that sort took place.'

Currently, officers who were at the station when the matter was reported are being questioned over the matter.
