According to an application filed before Milimani Law Courts, detectives want to be allowed to continue holding the suspect at Gigiri police station in order to complete investigations into the alleged attempted murder offense.

The detectives have informed Magistrate Zainab Abdul that they are probing an offense of attempted murder against Njanja.

According to probing officer Ndatho on July 2, 2021, the suspect Njanja armed with a firearm, shot three people at a club namely Club Quiver along Thika Road in Nairobi county.

“That the two of the victims were identified as police Constable Lawrence Mururi from Kasarani police station and police Constable Festus Musyoka from starehe Nzisa who was shot in the line of duty,” says Ndatho.

The victims were rushed to the hospital where police Constable Lawrence Muturi who was shot on his arm was treated and discharged while the waitress Felistas Nzisa and the other officer namely Constable Festus Musyoka were admitted.

However, Njanja through his lawyer Cliff Ombetta strongly opposed the request to have him detained for two weeks saying he is not a flight risk.
