Do you remember the brave city officer who single handedly apprehended a hard core criminal?

The Kenya’s Administration Police Constable Joash Ombati wowed Kenyans with his skills when a video of him apprehending robbery with violence suspects is set to be rewarded.

Immediately after his video went viral, Kenyans online started lobbying for the government to recognizes his courage and adherence to the rule of the law with an award or promotion.

Today, the Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i and Inspector General of Police Joseph Boinett will be awarding Mr Ombati at the Safaricom headquarters.

 

Mr Ombati’s skill and calmness even as an irate mob urged him to shoot and kill robbery suspects he had chased after won the hearts of many Kenyans.

Even more commendable is that he managed to recover Sh400,000 which was part of the Sh732,000 that the suspects had stolen from the complainant Mr Amos Charo.

Mr Charo had reported at the Parklands Police Station that he had come from Voi to Nairobi to buy cheap construction materials from people he interacted with in the online shopping website OLX.​
