Twist as Officer Denies Being in Nairobi During Rex Masai Shooting

A surprising twist has emerged in the case involving the death of Rex Masai, who was fatally shot during anti-finance bill protests in Nairobi.

The police officer accused of shooting him, Isaiah Murangiri Ndumi, has denied being in Nairobi on the day of the demonstrations.

On Wednesday, July 16, Officer Ndumi appeared in court and strongly disputed video footage and CCTV images presented by the prosecution.

The evidence allegedly shows him in Nairobi’s Central Business District (CBD) and along Uhuru

Highway, where the protests were taking place. However, the officer firmly insisted that the man seen in the footage—described as wearing a blue shirt, grey trousers, and holding a walkie-talkie—was not him.

When the court directly asked, “The person in a blue shirt and grey trousers with a walkie-talkie, is that you?” Ndumi confidently replied, “No, your honour, that is not me.”

The prosecution laid out multiple photos and video clips, trying to prove the officer was indeed present at the protest scenes and may have been responsible for the fatal shooting. But Ndumi continued to deny any connection, rejecting each piece of evidence as not showing him.

In one of the video clips, a man can be seen holding a firearm, which the prosecution claims is the accused officer. Yet, Ndumi denied this too, telling the court, “I am not the one; that person does not bear any resemblance to me.”

He also dismissed claims that he had a mark on his face, a detail visible in the shared videos and images. The officer said he has no such mark, suggesting the footage showed someone else.

Interestingly, the prosecution mentioned that cellphone location data placed Ndumi at the exact location where Rex Masai was shot. Still, he insisted that he was not present in that area during the protests.

Meanwhile, the lead investigating officer in the case, Paul Njehia, told the court that forensic tests linked Rex’s injuries to the scene of the protests. He revealed that samples collected at the scene were tested and matched with DNA from Rex Masai’s body.

“These samples were collected from the scene, and so far, we have confirmed that Rex Masai was shot during the protest. The blood samples match the DNA of Rex,” Njehia testified.

As the case progresses, the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) has ordered three more officers to record statements. The investigation is still ongoing, with more evidence expected to surface in the coming days.
