A man nursing injuries has accused police officers of robbing him 600,000 and throwing him out of a moving car in Utawala, Embakasi area.
Mr Naftali Kamau who resides in the Kamakis area told police that on Friday at around 9:40 am, he went and withdrew Sh600, 000 from Utawala Equity bank to take to his lawyer for a transaction.
According to Mr Kamau, his lawyer was waiting for him at his Donholm office, but while on his way, he noticed a motor vehicle registration KDB 055P, a white Toyota Axio following him.
Upon reaching the junction of Baraka estate, the said motor vehicle sped, overtook and blocked him.
“Two armed traffic police officers, a lady and a gentleman flagged me to stop and asked why I was overspeeding. As we were talking, they opened the doors and entered my vehicle and grabbed the brown envelope that had the money I had withdrawn,” he told police in his report.
He said that the two quickly alighted but he followed them to their vehicle where two other people were in civilian clothes.
When he demanded back his money, they instead told him to board their vehicle and sped off with him towards Utawala and threw him out of the vehicle at Benedictor Junction.
While in the car, they again robbed him of his two iPhones.
During the incident, he sustained scratches on his neck.
Police have since launched investigations and circulated the motor vehicle number plate.
Two weeks ago, police launched an investigation into a strange incident where a man reported being robbed by police officers in Nairobi.
