Being in military equipment, uniform included is illegal. A man who was allegedly wearing a military uniform was saved by activist Boniface Mwangi from being arrested by police. Mwangi was at The Hub Mall in Karen, Nairobi when the man came running to him with police in pursuit.
In a video shared by the activist, he is heard reprimanding the three officers for harassing the innocent man instead of apprehending criminal; ”Arrest criminals instead. He is a parent accompanied by the children doing shopping yet you want to arrest him, don’t you have anything else to do? Why are you following him yet he has children with him? Wewe kwanza angalia unakula miraa.” He said pointing at one of the police officers.
He told the police that what he was wearing was not military fatigue. He stood to his ground and escorted the man out of the mall, away from those two officers who were obviously abusing their authority.”
