The spectacle played out at Muna Police Post in Limuru when volunteers of a charitable organization called Kenya Diaspora Media-USA took 60 bales of flour for safe keeping at the police base.<\/p>\n

Kenya Diaspora Media-USA was set to distribute the Unga on Wednesday to locals in Karambaini area.<\/p>\n

At the police post, the volunteers gave five officers who they found at the station two packets each as a gesture of appreciation.<\/p>\n

But a Police Constable manning the station on night shift reportedly demanded more Unga.<\/p>\n

One of the volunteers, Mr Jeremiah Mureithi, said the officer became irritable and fired four rounds in the air.<\/p>\n

The cop then dropped his AK-47 and engaged a driver for the charitable organization in hand-to-hand combat.<\/p>\n

The driver sustained serious injuries on the head, and mouth and complained of chest pain as well.<\/p>\n

\n

Senior police officers arrived at the scene, disarmed their colleague, and escorted him to Kikuyu General Hospital to undergo medical tests.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The officers also recovered his rifle loaded with 16 bullets and the four spent cartridges from the scene.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Police said the next course of action will be taken after they get a report from the hospital.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
