Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>A Parklands Police Officer is nursing an injury at a city hospital from accidentally shooting himself as he tried to arrest a dangerous criminal.<\/p>\n

On Friday, October 29, Detective Luke Juma chased after Philip Munyasia, a criminal that had been terrorizing the city by taking his victims’ lives.<\/p>\n

Munyasia was on the run when he noticed Juma had identified him and was coming for him.<\/p>\n

According to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations statement, the traders along Lunga Lunga road were astonished by the dramatic turn of events.<\/p>\n

\u201cMunyasia had taken flight when he spotted the detective coming for him, prompting a chase that left traders along Lunga Lunga road in Nairobi\u2019s Industrial area, dismayed,\u201d part of the statement read.<\/p>\n

The chase came to a halt after Munyasia got tired and was panting uncontrollably. Juma then had an opportunity to arrest the suspect.<\/p>\n

When putting handcuffs on the 35-year-old criminal, he accidentally shot himself, injuring his left leg. The bullet was discharged by his Ceska pistol holstered around his waist.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey rolled with Juma, who was struggling to handcuff a stubborn Munyasia. He accidentally discharged one round from his Ceska pistol holstered on his waist,\u201d DCI added.<\/p>\n

Juma managed to clinch onto the suspect regardless of his injury. It took the intervention of Corporal Abdilatif Ahmed to help put the hardcore criminal behind bars.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, he managed to restrain the suspect in his arms until Corporal Abdilatif Ahmed, whose service to the nation shall be missed when he retires soon,\u201d DCI stated.<\/p>\n

In the statement, the DCI recognized the detective\u2019s efforts, praising his bravery while wishing him a quick recovery.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe congratulate detective Juma for his bold actions and pray for his speedy recovery,\u201d DCI added.<\/p>\n
