Nairobians witness drama as passengers attack reckless driver

A driver who ferried passengers from Kakamega to Nairobi faced it rough after he was attacked by the passengers. The driver was accused of reckless driving and was later handed to police.

The journey from Kakamega began on Sunday night. The bus was half full, but the driver picked more passengers along the way. At Majengo, the driver is said to have ignored the passengers’ appeals to stop speeding. One of the passengers said; “When we approached the steep road after Riat in Kisumu, I knew we were done.”

A group of passengers then went to the driver’s cabin to reprimand him. He then stopped at Mamboleo roundabout, where the passengers pushed him out of the vehicle and called the police.

The bus conductor fled. Police arrived some few minutes past midnight and arrested the driver. The bus was impounded. The passengers then had to walk to Mamboleo police station, where they waited for day break while others sought other means to travel to Nairobi. The bus was later towed to the police station.
