A Nigerian named John Nwankwo Noko is set to be deported from Nairobi after his alleged involvement in an assault case.
The man was captured by surveillance cameras beating up a Kenyan woman confined to a wheelchair in a house setting.
In the footage, the man is seen clobbering the helpless woman in the head before two other ladies looking on intervene to stop the fight.
She had just been wheeled to an indoor corridor when the man showed up and immediately descended on her with violence.
The footage irked Kenyans, who camped on social media to curse the perpetrator of the brute force meted out on the woman identified as Pauline.

The case was booked at the Karen Police Station.
The woman revealed she had been receiving death threats from the foreigner.
Nominated senator Gloria Orwoba pick the issue with relevant state agencies to seek justice for the woman.
The Ministry of Gender—under Aisha Jumwa—took the matter, collaborating with Kithure Kindiki's Ministry of Interior.
On Saturday, May 4, Jumwa's docket reported the nabbing of the man who was being probed and processed for deportation.
"Action has since been taken, and we appreciate the swift response and efforts made by Cabinet Secretary for the Ministry of Interior, Prof. Kithure Kindiki, and Principal Secretary Amb. Prof. Julius Bitok in expediting this process. Nwankwo Noko has been arrested and processed for deportation," a statement from the Gender Ministry, signed by Senator Orwoba and PS Anne Wang'ombe, partly read.
