Police Brutality

Narrating his ordeal in the hands of rogue police, the Saboti legislature disclosed that on October 13, 2017, he almost lost his life after a teargas canister was thrown into his car by an officer during the demonstration of the electoral reforms organised by the opposition party in Nairobi County.

He further described the ordeal stating how his car lost control and landed in the nearby building after his driver collapsed on the accelerator peddle.

Amisi continued to say how his life was saved after a local Journalist saw him struggling to be engulfed in total smoke and opened his door.

“OCTOBER 13TH 2017 remains the day I was to die along Kenyatta Avenue fighting for electoral reforms. A police officer teargassed my car from the rear mirror, and the teargas blew up inside my car. My driver collapsed on the accelerator peddle, my car swerved, and we landed in a building nearby,” Amisi said.

“I had lost breath, and the windows were locked and stuck. Were it not for a journalist from Reuters Media International who saw me struggling engulfed in total smoke, opened my door, I got an iota of air and the owner poured water on me, I would have died.”
