Nairobi-based human rights activist Boniface Mwangi on Sunday saved a man from being arrested by police who alleged that he had worn police attire.
Taking to his Facebook account, the former Starehe Member of Parliament aspirant shared a video of the man, his two children, and the two police officers who wanted to arrest him.
“We were at The Hub when this man came running to me that the police want to arrest him for wearing "military uniform." He was with this his two children. I told the police that what he was wearing was not military fatigue. We stood our ground and escorted the man out of the mall, away from those two officers who were obviously abusing their authority,” said Boniface Mwangi.
The man who displayed his attire which the police claimed was military attire, asked people around if that looked like a police attire.
His t-shirt had a drawing that made it look different from a police attire.
Mr. Mwangi took this chance to advise the police to arrest people committing crimes and leave innocent Kenyans alone.
After realising that they could not arrest the man who was then protected by Boniface Mwangi, the police slowly walked out of the man, but Mwangi and other people followed them outside to film them.
Here is the video.
