The incident happened at the Roysambu roundabout in Kasarani, Nairobi on Tuesday, July 6. Upon reaching where the police officer was – near the diversion towards Kasarani – one of the two pillion passengers stretched his hand out and grabbed the phone from the traffic police officer’s right ear. The video ends by showing the officer controlling traffic, in what some online users termed as the “swift acceptance of what had happened”. Several social media users condemned the incident, wondering what the criminals would do to civilians who have no security training or protective equipment like police officers. Nairobi police boss Nthumbi said the officers will include GSU, regular police and plainclothes officers.
