Detective Accidentally Shoots Himself While Pursuing A Dangerous Criminal

A Nairobi based detective is nursing a bullet injury at a city hospital after shooting himself while in pursuit of a criminal.

According to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations, the incident occurred on Friday evening in Nairobi’s industrial area.

“A detective based at Parklands Police station is nursing a bullet injury at a city hospital, after he accidentally discharged one round of ammunition while effecting arrest, yesterday evening,” read a report by DCI.

Detective Luke Juma was pursuing the dangerous suspect identified as Philiph Munyasia, who has been on the run after a stupefying incident that left his victim fighting for his life.

“Munyasia, 35, had taken flight when he spotted the detective coming for him, prompting a chase that left traders along Lunga Lunga road in Nairobi’s Industrial area, dismayed,” the statement further read.

The detective managed to catch up with the suspect after a race of about 400m.

“The suspect had outpaced Juma in a race that had the hallmarks of an Olympics steeplechase finals, as he jumped over water puddles and ditches with the detective chasing after him closely behind. After about 400 metres, Juma caught up with the suspect who was panting uncontrollably, struggling to catch breath,” DCI said.

The officer is said to have shot himself as he tried to handcuff Munyasia

“He pinned him to the ground and as they rolled with Juma struggling to handcuff a stubborn Munyasia, he accidentally discharged one round from his czeska pistol holstered on his waist. The bullet went for his left leg just above the knee. He however restrained the suspect in his arms, until Corporal Abdilatif Ahmed, whose service to the nation shall be missed as he retires soon, arrived,” the police report revealed.

DCI further said that Juma is in a stable condition while congratulating him for the good work.

“As the suspect remains behind bars, detective Juma is recuperating at a city hospital in stable condition. We congratulate detective Juma for his bold actions and pray for his speedy recovery,” DCI said.
