As if to give credence to the clarion calls for police reforms and a boost to the officers’ social welfare, a one of a kind incident took place at Kenya Airport Police Unit within Embakasi in Nairobi.
A relative to a policeman has landed himself in court following a suspected fight over a sufuria (cooking pan) with a neighbor.
According to court documents, Nelson Koech, 28, is said to have on May 13 used a neighbor’s sufuria in their shared kitchen whilst they were away in church to prepare a meal but refused to clean it.
An argument between him and his neighbour’s house girl, Susan Ayuma ensued, with the latter demanding that he washes the cooking pan before she could use it.
But Koech would hear none of it. The woman reportedly then insulted him, calling him, among other insults, a “thief who uses other people’s cooking pans but refuses to clean them”.
Koech is reported to have responded by beating and injuring the house girl, whose boss was yet to arrive from church, leading to a fight that saw him arrested.
Ayuma secured a P3 form, which was used to charge Koech, but he denied the charges upon being arraigned at the Makadara Law Courts.
He was set free on Sh20,000 cash bail to await hearing on August 9.
