Ian Njoroge, a motorist who assaulted and injured a traffic police officer during a traffic stop in Mirema has intimated the reason behind his startling incident.
The suspect was apprehended at his home in the Jacaranda area of Kayole, Nairobi, on Sunday evening by the Nairobi area DCI.
Shortly after his arrest, Njoroge was subjected to a brief but intense interrogation by individuals believed to be officers.
In a video circulating on social media, a handcuffed Njoroge is seen responding to questions posed by two officers.
When asked about his parents’ occupations, he said, “My father is a teacher at Mavoko Boys Secondary School, and my mother is a businesswoman selling lab equipment.”
The officers continued questioning Njoroge about his background and training. He admitted, “I have not trained,” and clarified that it was his first time hitting an officer.
When asked where he got the courage to assault a police officer, Njoroge explained, “I was just angry. We were not understanding each other because he wanted a lot of money which I could not get…”
The interrogation took a harsh turn as officers berated Njoroge with insults, forcing him to demean himself.
The dialogue included phrases like, “Say you are a fool,” and “You’re a cow.”
“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?”
According to the police report, the incident occurred around 8:00 a.m. on Sunday.
The officer, who was controlling traffic, noticed Njoroge’s vehicle making an illegal U-turn, obstructing other road users.

When the officer approached the vehicle, Njoroge hit the road kerb, causing the car to get stuck.
The report states, “On reaching opposite Quick Mart, the driver suddenly stopped and drew a sword from under the seat.
The officer jumped out of the vehicle for his own safety, and the driver followed him with blows and kicks.
He fell into the trench, and in the process, the driver took his police pocket phone battery and left with it.”
Members of the public intervened, rescuing the officer and taking him to Crestview Mother and Child Wellness Centre in Kasarani for first aid.
Due to the severity of his injuries, he was subsequently referred to Mama Lucy Kibaki Hospital for further treatment.
