A daring machete-wielding man filmed confronting the police during protests in London, Nakuru West on Tuesday has been arrested.

Details have emerged that the man in question, who went into hiding after the incident, is not a Kenyan citizen but engaged in protests following the shooting of Daniel Nderitu, a local.

Police shot Nderitu on Monday during a confrontation between a group of youth and the officers, minutes after arresting three suspected drug dealers in the estate.

Nakuru West Sub County Police Commander Stephen Kirui on Friday morning confirmed to The Standard that the man was in their custody. "I arrested the suspect in the Hilton area of London Estate and we identified him as Hassan Mtimkavu alias Paul Ositi, a Ugandan national," said Mr Kirui.
