There was drama along a busy Nairobi road after a man clashed with a traffic police officer who allegedly tried to grab his phone while he was recording the officer on duty.
In a video that has since gone viral on social media, the visibly angry man is heard shouting, “Mimi hunitishi!” as he confronted the officer, accusing him of harassment and abuse of power.
According to eyewitnesses, the man had started recording the officer during what appeared to be a heated exchange involving a traffic stop. The officer reportedly demanded that he stop filming and attempted to snatch the phone from his hands, leading to a tense standoff that drew the attention of onlookers.
Bystanders could be heard urging both parties to calm down as the argument intensified. The officer eventually walked away as the man continued recording, insisting that he had the right to document public incidents.
The incident has since sparked a debate online, with many Kenyans supporting the man for standing up for his rights, while others argued that filming police officers during duty can escalate confrontations.
Authorities have not yet commented on the matter, but the video continues to circulate widely, highlighting ongoing tensions between citizens and law enforcement officers in the city.
