CLARIFICATION ON THE VIDEO OF AN ARREST IN KIHIHI
The man in civilian clothing seen being arrested in the circulating video is a retired Assistant Inspector of Police. He is not the OC CID Kanungu, as some social media posts suggest.
The arrest relates to an alleged assault on his biological sister, arising from a land dispute. Police investigated the matter and submitted the file to the Resident Senior State Attorney, who advised that the suspect and his wife be charged with attempted murder.
Two previous attempts to arrest him were unsuccessful after he reportedly evaded arrest.He was arrested yesterday at an anti-corruption rally organized by Hon Balaam Barugahara in Kihihi.
It is alleged that the retired officer resisted arrest and punched officers as they attempted to place him on a police pickup. Officers subsequently used force to subdue him and took him to the Central Police Station.
Yes, we acknowledge the concerns raised about the force shown in the video BUT the reported resistance is relevant to understanding the circumstances of the arrest and does not on its own, settle whether the force used was justified.
We shall look into the full circumstances, including the officers’ conduct and the conduct of the suspect.
