Deputy chief justice Philomena Mwilu’s bodyguard recalled in court how a hooded gunman shot and robbed him of his pistol near Marsabit Plaza along Ngong Road on October 24, 2017.
Police constable Titus Musyoka was ambushed by a gunman who shot him on the shoulder as he collected seedlings bought by the DCJ at a flower garden opposite Impala Club at around 4pm.
Musyoka was counting the seedlings the vendor and his worker were loading onto Mwilu’s car when he heard a gunshot and a man ordering him to lie down, before he was shot and he fell down.
The gunman then proceeded to snatch his pistol hoisted on his waist belt as another man shouted “maliza yeye”. He then pretended to be dead.
Musyoka said he lied on the ground and feigned death but opened his eyesslightly to see the movement of his attacker.
He told the court he saw the hooded man jump onto the bike which was parked a few metres from where hewas but he could not see the motorcycle’s registration before they sped off.
It is at that time, he said, that the vendor, Elsavan Githua who had taken cover under the vehicle, and his worker, who lay down beside flower pots, came out and helped him into the car and drove him to Nairobi Women’s Hospital’s Adam’s Arcade branch.
Musyoka was shot on the jaw and left shoulder and a bullet head was removed from his body during a surgical operation at the hospital.
He later identified Kamau as the hooded man who shot him but said he did not manage to see Wachira’s face because of the direction he was facing.
