China Global Television Network (CGTN) Sports Editor Saddique Shaban witnessed an accident in Mlolongo and he did everything within his means to make sure the culprit didn’t escape justice.

Saddique gave a chronology of the event in a thread of tweets,  he reveals that a drunk University of Nairobi (UoN) lecturer rammed into a taxi in high speed nearly killing the three occupants including a baby.

“Tonight, with the help of others, we have taken off the road, a dangerous drunken driver, potentially murderous, who nearly wiped out four people on Mombasa road. We hope she will serve as a lesson to others,” Saddique  tweeted.

“The incident happened on Sunday at midnight and I was driving behind the car and just near the weigh bridge on Mlolongo there are usually a few bumps. And as the taxi in front of the lady’s car slowed down because of the bumps the car being driven by the woman did not reduce its speed and rammed into the taxi,” he explained in another tweet.

The DUI suspect rammed a taxi carrying three people, including a baby. Passenger sitting at the back suffered neck & lover back injuries. Rushed them to hospital. Lady driver says no one could arrest her due to her influential "connections". This inspired me more. pic.twitter.com/FburLnJ8qJ

Influential connections

Saddique shared videos of the drunk UoN driver uttering incoherent words after the accident. She was also bragging that no one could arrest her due to her influential connections.

Here's the DUI driver's face and her car's registration plate. Toyota Lexus SUV. The lady abused everyone who stopped to help and dared people to call the police on her because she "had not taken off from accident scene". pic.twitter.com/MhG3HuW40Z

This is the face, voice and typical profile of a drink-and-drive motorist on a Kenyan road. The abuse, the threats and sheer impunity is unsettling. Tested our collective patience and everything about being a good Samaritan. pic.twitter.com/Kk9pDLuGCI

Dear Mr. Vice Chancellor @vcuonbi , you may have realized one of your lecturers, Mercy Wairimo King'ara did not report to work today. It's because she's been taken to court for DUI. pic.twitter.com/5ccF3c9djL
