Three police officers were caught on camera assaulting a mentally challenged man at the Lodwar County Referral Hospital in Turkana.
The officers are said to have handcuffed the man before they beat him up for allegedly causing disturbance at the facility.
In the one minute, twenty three seconds video, the patient shouted at the top of his voice as he begged the officers to have mercy on him but they could hear non of his pleas.
Some of the patients who witnessed the incident were heard encouraging the officers to continue assaulting the man while others just looked distraught.
The video has since been shared multiple times and upset a section of Kenyans who have called the National Police Service (NPS) and the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) to investigate the matter.
“The buck stops with Matiang’i and Mutyambai. Those officers are not worth their positions. That is police brutality, intimidation, harassment to the members of public. Very very unfortunate,” Charles Nderitu stated
