Its surprising the things we overcome when matched to the strength we initially think we have before encountering a life battle.
The DCI George Kinoti has shocked the nation after an interview with him revealed he is a man who has survived 28 bullets breaking the record of life survival testimonies in the country.
At that time, Kinoti, who had first wanted to be a priest, was the leader of the dreaded Kanga Squad, a unit he formed to fight rising crime.
He took the dangerous job after leaving his prestigious post of Personal Assistant to the Director of Criminal Investigations.
On the night of the 28 bullets, Kinoti left his Kanga team, telling them to go prepare for the night operation. They were to wait for him at the Simmers Restaurant (since demolished) at their reserved table, before proceeding on patrol.
But before they could meet, Kinoti faced five armed men who sprayed him with bullets that sent him into a coma for days.
The attack occurred when Kinoti was threatened with assassination for probing the attack on Prof Ngugi wa Thiong’o and his wife at Norfolk apartments in Nairobi.
KOT is extremely shocked over this allegations.
So George Kinoti has been shot 35 times in total. This man is immortal…now you know

Following the 28-bullet near-death experience, the DCI boss says he does not fear being killed for standing with Kenyans who are being ripped off by corrupt leaders and business people.
Attacks were common during his postings at various stations in Busia, Migori and Nairobi counties.”I have died several times in the field but i have surprisingly found myself, maybe rising from the dead,”Kinoti said.
“Even now there are active threats on my head. There are quite a number of groupings who are plotting ll manner of evil against me,”the top detective added.
Do you believe that the DCI truly survived 28 bullets?
