Boda Boda Riders Brutally Attack County Officer

A Nairobi County askari was beaten while trying to arrest a boda-boda rider for blocking Haile Selassie Avenue on Thursday evening.

The askari had taken the rider's key and was pushing the bike to the nearest city council office before he was attacked.

The askari was left bleeding while the riders escaped.

"Traffic marshalls are employed to ensure traffic movement is smooth and that boda boda operators ply their trade in designated areas." Ogeto said at City Hall on Friday.

There have been clashes between the riders and the county officers, with the riders claiming that the askaris oppress them as well as solicit for bribes.

The officers, however, accuse the riders of recklessness adding that they highly cause accidents.

However Ogeto states that, "The bad blood between the askaris and wananchi should no be there."
