A policewoman from the elite Rapid Deployment Unit (RDU) has died while allegedly undergoing an abortion in Nairobi.
The officer, a constable, was first taken to a hospital in Kawangware while unconscious after being transferred from another facility. However, she did not make it to the wards alive.
A doctor at the facility where she was rushed in a private car confirmed that she was already dead and there was no need to admit her.
Police and the doctor indicated that the officer, who was on leave from her station in Embakasi, may have been induced to go into labour, prompting a visit to the initial health facility.
