A tragic incident unfolded at the heavily guarded State House in Nairobi, Kenya, when a police officer lost his life after being shot with an arrow by an assailant. The attack occurred on Monday morning as a 56-year-old man, armed with a bow and arrows, approached the gates of the presidential residence. Despite orders to surrender, the man advanced and fatally shot PC Ramadhan Matanka in the ribs. The officer was rushed to the hospital but succumbed to his injuries during treatment. This shocking event has sparked concerns over potential security vulnerabilities at one of Kenya’s most secure locations. The assailant, who reportedly disguised himself as a homeless person carrying a sack that concealed his weapons, was swiftly apprehended. Video footage later showed the handcuffed suspect with visible injuries being transported to a hospital. Police spokesperson Muchiri Nyaga condemned the attack, praising the officers’ quick response and extending condolences to PC Matanka’s family. An investigation is underway to determine the motive behind the assault, and the suspect is expected to appear in court soon.
