The Directorate of Public Prosecutions on Thursday, February 20, withdrew the case against Ian Njoroge, a student who was captured on video assaulting a police officer.

Njoroge, a 19-year-old, went viral after a clip surfaced online showing him assaulting Corporal Jacob Ogendo who later landed on a ditch on Kamiti Road, Mirema in June 2024.

After the video surfaced, authorities tracked Njoroge down on the evening of Sunday, June 2, and interrogated him overnight.

A clip showing Njoroge being questioned by police officers suggested that he was subjected to torture and insults.
