On July 21, 2019, a tragic incident occurred in Nairobi, leaving one dead and raising questions about the use of firearms.
A bodyguard attached to Meru County Speaker Joseph Kaberia was shot dead by a driver who was dropping him off at his sister's house at Kamiti Corner, Nairobi.
The driver, Andrew Nabea, a licensed gun holder, pumped bullets into Constable Samuel Munga in a cold blood attack that saw him shoot himself on the left leg.
Constable Munga was pronounced dead at Neema Hospital in Kasarani, where a postmortem will be conducted to establish the cause of death and show how many bullets were pumped into his body.
According to neighbours, they heard an argument between the two outside the gate before gunshots rent the air at 3am.
Neighbours called police who arrived soon after and found Constable Munga writhing with gunshot wounds in the chest. His pistol still had all 15 bullets intact.
