Two men were shot and injured while celebrating their win outside a court in Kiambu County on Thursday, December 2.
Police confirmed the incident and revealed that they have commenced investigations into the incident which occurred outside at the Gatundu Law courts.
According to witnesses, the duo was celebrating after getting a favourable ruling on a land case they were pursuing. But their joy turned to sorrow when two men on a motorbike approached them.
The men on the boda boda screeched near the duo who were under a tree and opened fire hitting the two men on their legs and arms with bullets.
The boda boda then sped off leaving the duo with deep wounds.
Francis Muhoho, the Kiranga location chief, told the press the victims were rushed to Gatundu Level Five Hospital where they were receiving treatment at the time of publishing this story.
Kenya has been on the spot over incidents where people lose their lives in disputes. The police have also been blamed for extrajudicial killings and laxity in taming criminals.
In cases such as Willie Kimani's death have continued to pile up within a crippled justice system.
Data shows that the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) received and processed 13,618 complaints in the 10 years since it was established, but only 1,518 investigations have been completed, 160 case files submitted to prosecutors and six convictions made.
According to Missing Voices, a group of organisations investigating unlawful killings in Kenya, police officers in suspicious circumstances continue. The Kenya Police killed 157 people in 2020, up from 144 the previous year.
But these are just cases that are suspected of being extrajudicial assassinations, the rate of crime in the country has also increased and an expose by Citizen TV's Purity Mwambia claimed that cops hire out their weapons to criminals.
Although the DCI and IG of Police denied the allegations in the expose, they also did not offer any explanation on how criminals obtain guns and use them to commit these heinous offences.
