BREAKING: Ian Njoroge Charged With Assault, Robbery With Violence, Resisting Arrest, and Causing Grevious Bodily Harm To a Police Officer



Ian Njoroge, the accidental hero who beat a police officer to a pulp during a traffic stop in Mirema, Roysambu, has been presented for arraignment at the Milimani Law Courts.
According to his lawyer, Duncan Okatch, Ian will be charged with robbery with violence, assault, causing grievous bodily harm, and resisting arrest.
Okatch added that they will ask the court to grant his client 
cash bail since he is a student. Ian will be arraigned before Magistrate Ben Mark Ekhubi.

Sources also detailed that once charged with the criminal offences, Ian will be taken before the traffic court where he will be charged with three other counts.
Ian Njoroge was dramatically arrested on Sunday evening at his home in the Jacaranda area of Kayole, Nairobi, as part of an operation led by the Nairobi area DCI.

He later intimated that he was only acting out of rage after the corrupt traffic officer demanded an exorbitant bribe that he could not afford.
