OFFICER WAKES FROM 9-MONTHS COMA, FINDS HE WAS DESMISSED FROM NPS

Constable Rueben Kimutai Lel who was based at Jogoo Road police station has come out of a nine-month coma at Kenyatta National Hospital where he had been without the knowledge of his colleagues, family and friends.⁣

According to a report by Nation, Kimutai was hit by a vehicle in December 2020 resulting in a fractured skull.⁣

His personal belongings were stolen by first responders and when he was rushed to the hospital he could not be identified.⁣

His bosses and colleagues thought he had proceeded for his leave which was due in a few days but in January he failed to resume work where he had been attached to the Judiciary at Makadara Law Courts.⁣

Deemed to have deserted his duties, a warrant of arrest was issued against him according to the National Police Service Act.⁣

His colleagues had tried to search for the missing officer but no leads were forthcoming, with the family even more puzzled after his whereabouts.⁣

The team which had been given until March 22 to find him asked for more time until October 12 when the matter is to be heard in court.⁣

Given his extended absence, the National Police Service removed his name from the payroll.⁣

Kimutai started regaining consciousness in August and gave the medics his name and the process of identifying his next of kin began.⁣
