Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja has ordered an investigation into the arrest of Nakuru-based activist James Mbugua after a video making rounds on social media showed officers manhandling him during Thursday's June 25 anniversary protests.
In a statement, the National Police Service (NPS) condemned the act, terming it a breach of the Service's Standard Operating Procedures in which officers are expected to protect the dignity and rights of suspects.
"The Service strongly condemns all forms of unprofessional conduct, excessive force, or breaches of established procedures," read the statement.
