A police officer attached to the Diplomatic Police Unit (DPU) was attacked and robbed while attempting to deposit money at an Mpesa shop in Kiambaa.
Officer Stanley Kipterer, on his way to work from his residence near Ruaka, was assaulted by three unknown assailants around 4:30 am.
The thugs struck him with a blunt object, causing severe head injuries, and stabbed him in the upper torso, before escaping with Ksh.1,500 and his Samsung A23 mobile phone.
Passersby discovered the wounded officer and rushed him to Nairobi West Hospital, where he is currently reported to be in stable condition.
The DPU, known for safeguarding diplomats, now faces concerns about officer safety amid rising crime. Authorities are investigating the incident and pursuing leads on the suspects.
