Reoorts indicate that Iana Njoroge has a broken arm that he sustained the injury after he was twisted when he was arrested. Further, Njoroge has a broken jaw through the alleged beating he received.
However, one of the police officer who arrested Ian Njoroge after he assaulted the traffic officer has also been arrested for engaging in a robbery incident and other crimes.
The officer is said to have partnered with three others and a civilian to steal a total of Ksh 2. 2 Million shillings from a school accountant in Utawala, Nairobi. The officer is set to be arraigned too after investigations are completed.
However, the court has granted the prosecution until Friday 2PM to obtain a probation report, something that the prosecution had argued that will need fourteen days to secure.
Njoroge’s case is set to continue from 2 PM after the prosecution has presented the probation report. This comes after prosecution lawyer Danstan Omari requested the court to keep Njoroge in custody for his safety.

According to Omari, the accused is in danger of being a victim of public anger thus can lead to his death, an action that cannot be controlled by the police since they are the complainant and cannot keep Ian Njoroge safe from public anger.
