Sad! Citizen TV And Nation Journalists Beaten By The Police (Photos)

Even in this era of new constitution, the police are still exercising their brutality on members of the fourth estate. Last week, two journalists faced the music when animal instinct sent GSU officers to attack them.

Citizen TV and NTV journalists last Saturday suffered savagery at the hands of law enforcement officers while on line of duty.

The two, Nehemiah Okwembah (Nation journalist) and Rueben Ogachi (Citizen TV cameraman) had travelled to Tana River County to check on locals who had claimed to be attacked by the same GSU officers.

GSU officers reportedly descended on the two with their assault weapons while they were interviewing locals who complained that the officers drove away 200 of their cattle for allegedly trespassing into the expansive Galana Ranch.

Tana River’s Communication official, Ali Wario, political advisor to Tana River governor and a driver were also not spared during the GSU assault.

The two journalists suffered serious injuries during the heinous incident, they were ferried to Mombasa by Kenya Red Cross for treatment.
