Irate mob kill NIS officer mistaken for robber in Nairobi

A National Intelligence Service officer was beaten to death by a mob while his colleague escaped death narrowly in Donholm on Sunday evening as they attempted to clear a traffic jam. The two officers, both based at the NIS headquarters, had alighted from their car and tried to control traffic but members of the public mistook them for robbers.

Following the confrontation, one of the officers shot a resident in the hip and this brought more people to descend on the men. One escaped, one was killed.

Detectives from the NIS on Monday visited the scene and the Buruburu police station after preliminary investigations showed that two police officers disarmed the NIS officers and left them at the mercy of an angry mob.
