Viral Driver Who Cried After Being Cuffed By Kanjo Inside His Lorry, Now Changes Tune After Sakaja’s Statement.
Viral Driver Who Cried After Being Cuffed By Kanjo Inside His Lorry has Now Changed Tune After Sakaja’s Statement, saying it was a chief who cuffed him.
In a fresh video clip shared and supported by Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja, the driver is heard denying that it was a Kanjo who cuffed him to a lorry handle, saying it was an assistant chief who found him on the roadside, cuffed him and left.
“They were two ladies who were controlling traffic. They came and said I had blocked the road, one of them cuffed me and they left. They didn’t ask for a bribe or anything, they just cuffed and left my hand hanging there in the lorry. It was not Kanjo,” the driver said.
This is however, contrary to what he had narrated when he was found cuffed in the lorry and sobbing.
Then, he said, Kanjo officers had stormed his lorry as he waited around Muthurwa area to carry luggage for his customers. They claimed he had blocked the road.
They then went on to cuff him and left him there, only for a passerby to find him with his hand bruised.
The passerby recorded the ordeal and called on Governor Sakaja to reign talk to his officers, saying it was inhumane.
But now Sakaja denies it was his officers who cuffed the driver, saying it was a chief who should be investigated and prosecuted.
“This gentleman was not cuffed by City inspectorate officers but by the assistant chief. We have escalated the issue to the County Commissioner David Wanyonyi to get to the bottom of it as Chiefs fall in his structure. That’s was wrong and inhumane,” Sakaja said.
However, a section of Kenyans have accused the governor of foul play. The concerned Kenyans say an assistant chief does not control traffic in Nairobi and there is no way she would cuff the driver.
