Just a day after Nairobi County governor Mike Sonko coming to the rescue of a police officer (now retired) who was caught up on a video being roughed up bu his wife over child upkeep, another senior DCI officer who participated in his dramatic arrest in Voi last year, has reached out to him for help.
Sonko had offered to pay for the Sh300,000 child support for the Voi base commander who mishandled him during his arrest, after a video of a jilted woman confronting the police officer, accusing him of absconding parental duties went viral.
The woman, who was breathing fire, mishandled her husband like a toddler as members of the public watched, and washed his dirty linen in public, revealing how he has failed to take care of their kid.
The woman cursed her husband and said that he is not man enough because he cannot look after his own flesh and blood.
In new developments, the governor has indicated that another Senior DCI officer who was present during his arrest has reached out to him and asked for help in clearing his medical expenses.
The official has been identified as Wundayi DCI Mr Richard Cheruiyot who is said to be in a critical condition after being shot by thugs thus needs financial help in removing the bullet lodged in his kidney.
In a long Facebook post, Sonko urged Kenyans not to repay evil for evil.
He revealed that he had accepted to meet the medical expenses of the senior DCI officer, noting that he was ready to meet the expenses of the third officer who has developed kidney complications.
Below is his Facebook post.
“DO NOT REPAY ANYONE EVIL FOR EVIL.
“Romans 12:17 says: ” Do not repay anyone evil for evil or insult with insult. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone.”
“In my yesterday’s Facebook post on the former Voi Base Commander who handcuffed me with two handcuffs and forcefully borded me in a police chopper during my arrest, I offered to clear the 300,000/= upkeep cost for his child.
“Today, the DCI Wundanyi a Mr. RICHARD CHERUIYOT, who was also instructed by the OCPD Voi to ensure that he handcuffs me with two handcuffs, called my Director of Communication seeking for my medical assistance in removing a bullet that is lodged around his kidney area after he was shot by thugs.I wish to confirm that I have accepted to meet the medical expenses of this senior DCI officer.
“I’m ready to meet the expenses of the third officer who has developed kidney complications. I’m not trying to mock the officers who arrested me or protest against my arrest as im not above the law but the manner in which I was forcefully bundled in a police chopper with two handcuffs from Voi airstrip to Wilson airport was not proper.
“It is against International aviation laws and regulations.
“However, I wish to confirm to the general public that I do not have any complain against all the officers involved during my arrest but I’m appealing to all our men and women in uniform who are doing a good job in protecting Kenyans and ensuring law and order is maintained to be handling unarmed suspects in a humane way during arrest as every suspect is presumed to be innocent until proven guilty by a court of law. May the Lord continue to bless you all.
