Popular Kamiti prison officer Shakur the Cop Filmed Protesting Outside The Senate Has Been Arrested:
A prison warden popularly known as Cop Shakur on social media was Tuesday arrested while protesting outside the Parliament Building.
According to Videos shared online he was dressed in blood-stained white dustcoat while raising a placard saying he was seeking justice for those killed in the recent anti-tax protests.
“We want justice, not your condolences,” read part of the placard.
The warden working at Kamiti Medium Prison had arrived outside the Senate gate with a group of supporters amid the rains.
The protester first engaged security officials at the gate in a push-and-pull game as he tried to access the precincts and blocked motorists from getting in and out.
A few minutes later, more police officers arrived and grabbed him before dragging him to the Parliament police cells.
The team tore his coat as they struggled to drag him away saying his protest was illegal. He could be seen briefly resisting before he cooperated and walked away.
It was after they arrived at the station that he identified himself as Jackson Kuria Kihara alias Shakur, a prison warden attached to Kamiti Medium prison.
