A senior police officer is under investigations in Nakuru following a scuffle in a bar on Monday morning.
Police allege that the incident involved Mogotio Officer Commanding Police Station (OCS) James Githinji in a scuffle at a bar in Rongai Town.
According to area Divisional Criminal Investigations Officer Henry Kiambati, Githinji is alleged to have attempted to shoot a bar maid identified as Nancy Jepkirui over allegations of losing Sh12, 500.
According to the Nation, Githinji claimed that money had been stolen before brandishing a Jericho pistol.
“Once we complete our investigations, the police officer will be charged in court with misuse of a firearm,” said Kiambati.
The bar attendant is said to have raised an alarm following the incident which attracted members of the public who disarmed the police officer.
The firearm was confiscated and currently in the possession of the police.
