A suspect is currently receiving treatment at the Mama Lucy Hospital in Nairobi, after he reportedly jumped from the 3rd floor of an apartment to evade arrest.
According to a statement by the DCI, Didmus Mong’are escaped death by a whisker, after he lept from his kitchen balcony at Amani apartments in Embakasi and landed on the ground with a thud breaking several of his limbs.
Officers who had gone to arrest him were forced to change their mission and offer first aid and rush the suspect to hospital.
A statement by the DCI indicates that Sgt (W) Rose Mwanzia and Constable Geoffrey Koros were on a mission to arrest Mong’are but he pulled a trick on them, before accessing his kitchen balcony and jumping off.

“Sgt (W) Rose Mwanzia had stormed his house at 10am, accompanied by Constable Geoffrey Koros, to arrest him for obtaining money by false pretenses. However, in a bid to trick the officers, Mong’are emerged from his bedroom naked, prompting the officers to allow him time to dress up.
“But as fate would have it, after putting on a pair of denim pants and a checked shirt, Mong’are mischievously dashed to the kitchen and flew from the balcony! Determined to accomplish her mission, Sgt (W) Mwanzia, almost followed suit but when she saw the suspect writhing on the ground in pain, opted to take the flight of stairs three at one go to restrain the suspect,” DCI narrated.
As they await his discharge from hospital, the officers are currently preparing Mong’are’s file so that he can answer to charges of obtaining money by false pretenses contrary to section 313 of the Penal code.
