“He’s been sleeping with my wife” Man caught on CCTV ramming into a traffic police officer explains his action

A Nairobi motorist was caught on camera attempting to run over a traffic police officer on duty. Apparently the traffic cop is having an affair with the man’s wife.

Constable Henry Kemboi is lucky to be alive, he was hit by a motorist while on duty at Likoni Road. The incident, which happened on Tuesday October 24th, was captured on CCTV.

The assailant was identified as Geoffrey Sungura Wekesa when he was arrested on Friday.  The suspect on Monday appeared before Milimani chief magistrate Francis Andayi to answer to charges of attempted murder.

He slept with my wife

Geoffrey Wekesa through his lawyer told the court hat the traffic officer had been having an affair with his wife. The suspect’s lawyer Peter Wakiaga says the police officer based at Makongeni Police Station caused his client’s marriage to crumble.

The lawyer begged the court to release his client on lenient terms. He argues that the suspect is the mother and father of his children following the separation with his wife.

Victim’s lawyer tells a different story

Constable Henry Kemboi’s lawyer Bernard Kanyiri says the suspect had been acting with impunity. He reveals that Wekesa had been using his influence to avoid arrest until Friday when he was arrested.

Mr. Kanyiri says his client was served with a transfer letter to Turkana County for allegedly demanding punishment of his assailant.

Geoffrey Wekesa was however released on a cash bail of Kesh 500,000 with an alternative bond of Kes 1 million. The case will be mentioned on 20th November 2017.
