Kamiu location Chief Sammy Njagi confirmed the occurrence, stating that he received a call at 6 a.m. from a renter living in the flat notifying him that someone had jumped from the building.

“I visited the scene and found the man, whose name I was able to establish, writhing in pain and holding his left arm. He had apparently sustained a fracture,” said the Chief.

According to accounts, the man may have attempted to flee the woman's home.
