This was in response to the Viral video of a woman identified as Gloria Ntazola who locked in a Nairobi County Traffic marshal popularly referred to as Kanjo in her Vehicle and speed off to Kitengela with the Askari.
Nairobi county secretary Patrick Analo has said instead of the Lady ‘abducting the officer she should have drove in to the nearest police station.
“The lady ought to have driven to the nearby police station or county offices for the matter to be solved instead of speeding off and saying she will spend the whole weekend with the officer,”
“It is wrong for a motorist to lock the officer inside a car and drive off just like in the video. It could end up being an abduction case,” county secretary Analo said.
