A police officer attached to Zimmerman Police Post is nursing injuries after he was stabbed in the abdomen by his ex-lover.
The officer had been invited by his ex-lover identified as Pamela Njambi for a reconciliation talk but he turned down a possible return and informed the ex-lover that he had moved on.
"This didn’t appear to have gone down well with the 30-year-old woman who followed the officer discreetly as he left her residence. Upon reaching the gate to the apartment, the woman stabbed the officer with a sharp object before fleeing into darkness," DCI in a statement said.
The attack prompted the officer to shout for help.
"Following the 10 pm incident, loud screams by the police corporal of Uuuuui Uuuuuui! Nisaidieni! rent the air as the officer sought assistance from well-wishers who responded immediately," he said.
