After dropping his client who was in labor at Mwahima Likoni Hospital, 49 year old Hamisi Juma Kambiriwa, a boda-boda operator, was on his way home with another passenger named Hassan Kitosha. Kitosha narrated to Standard Media how they encountered police officers who then hit Juma on the shoulder, this caused him to loose control of the vehicle and they ended up in a ditch filled with muddy water. The officers allegedly left Kitosha leave but they beat Juma with batons and gun butts. He arrived home at 8pm, severely injured, but was unable to go to the hospital because of the curfew. His family took him the next morning and he died on Sunday at Msambweni Hospital. IPOA released a statement saying it will be investigating the case.
