Sonko insists that the police officers in Kajiado county who shot ArshadSharif are innocent because they were ‘tricked’ into shooting the Pakistanijournalist.
The former Nairobi governor says that officers were instructed throughpolice radio that a stolen vehicle was travelling towards Magadi and thatthe occupants were armed and very dangerous.
He said that the cops, who were manning the roadblock where the vehiclecarrying the Pakistani journalist was shot at, had no option but to openfire because they believed they were stopping dangerous individuals fromfleeing.
