A Kenyan security guard has been caught on camera assaulting a woman in Nairobi.
In a video that has gone viral on social media, the guard is heard threatening to crash the woman’s mobile phone for filming him.
“Unajua wakati mwingine simu zingine zinashikangwa zinapigishwa chini… Usinichukue video… sawa?” warns the guard as he approaches the woman.
The woman continues to videotape the officer before he slaps her, interrupting the recording.
Trouble began after the lady confronted the guard for allegedly refusing to open the gate for her in an apparent case of racial discrimination.
“He slapped me because I was recording him refusing to let my car in saying the African Tenant’s have to get permission from the Chinese management (China Wuyi),” she notes.
The incident happened at Lobelia Court in Nairobi’s Kilimani area and the security guard has been identified as Philip Kiriba.
Following the incident, the guard attached to KK Security Company has been suspended after a directive by the Private Security Regulatory Authority.
In a statement on Tuesday, the authority’s CEO Fazul Mahamed says the officer has been suspended pending further disciplinary action including, prosecution.
“Following preliminary investigations of the incident, we have ordered for the immediate suspension of the officer, an internal disciplinary process by the employer as well as reporting the incident to the nearest police station,” says Fazul.
“All the orders have been adhered to and the said officer is currently on suspension.”
