Interestingly,what started out as rescue mission has taken a twist into an assassination mission with statements and witness accounts differing from original police information.

Among other robbers, a Nairobi based lawyer Jeremiah Kinyua Meeme was killed following a high speed car chase by police officers on Tuesday evening in Juja,Kiambu county.

While authorities stated that the officers gunned down five men, reporters could only identify three.

Jeremiah had been shot seven times while his friend Ian Collins Ojuok had 17 bullets in his body and Amos Ngugi, a client had one bullet lodged in his torso. 

Martin Kagoni, an eyewitness, however, gave a different version of events, claiming that he did not see the weapon the police had accused the men of brandishing.

He recounted how three police vehicles were pursuing the car amid thunderous gunfire. 

“The gunshots were emanating from the railway about a kilometer away. When the vehicles reached the petrol station, the one in front (Volkswagen) hit a lorry which had been parked by the road,” Kagoni narrated.

One man dashed out of the car and was chased by police officers before they returned to the car that had hit the lorry. 

The eyewitness stated that after sensing some movement in the car, the officers opened another round of thunderous gunfire and after a short while, everything went dead silent. 

The Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) has launched independent investigations into the incident, with a view of unravelling the circumstances that led to the fatal shootings.
