The cop was pronounced deceased at the hospital, according to the county executive.

"It's unfortunate that we have lost him. He was a good officer serving at Sotik prison. Before the start of the KCSE exams, he was full of life interacting with his colleagues without showing any signs of weakness," added Ndiwa.
