A police officer collapsed and died shortly after taking part in Madaraka Day celebrations in Wajir East Sub-County on Monday.

Police Constable Hassan Moyo collapsed at about 9:05 am, minutes after the march-past at Wajir Stadium, according to a police report.

He was rushed to Wajir County Referral Hospital, where doctors attempted to resuscitate him but pronounced him dead at bout an hour later.

Medical personnel suspect a myocardial infarction, commonly known as a heart attack. A postmortem will determine the exact cause of death.
