Renowned journalist and activist Boniface Mwangi has revealed he almost lost his life on April 2 when three police officers came to his Sema Ukweli offices and unleashed a beating after a scuffle broke out. In his official X account on Monday, April 21, Boni, as he is popularly known, claimed that the incident, which involved three officers from the Kilimani Police Station, happened on the night of Wednesday, April 2.
According to Mwangi, the three officers approached him in his office, saying they were responding to an alleged noise complaint.
One of the officers, who Mwangi claims was drunk and was chewing miraa, started roughing him up and, at some point, even attempted to shoot him with his firearm. "I tried to ask the senior officer at the scene why the officer was working and carrying a firearm while intoxicated and chewing miraa.
That's when all hell broke loose, and a scuffle ensued," he narrated.
