A suspect accused of killing a General Service Unit (GSU) officer using an arrow has been ordered by a Kibera Law Court to undergo treatment and will be detained for 14 days.

• The suspect, Kithuka Kimunyi, is accused of causing the death of Police Constable Ramadhan Mattanka.
• The incident occurred on Monday, October 13.
• The prosecution initially requested 21 days for investigations, which was revised to 14 days after clarification from the judge.

An armed assailant launched a bow and arrow attack at State House, Nairobi, on Monday morning, killing a General Service Unit officer and prompting a security lockdown while President William Ruto was reportedly on the premises.

• The officer, Police Constable Ramadhan Mattanka, was shot in the left ribs and later died at Kenyatta National Hospital.
• The 56-year-old attacker, identified as Kithuka, disguised himself as a member of street families and hid his weapons in a sack.
• The National Police Service (NPS) has launched an investigation into the security lapse, with the suspect held at Kimani Police Station.

The Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) has urged Kenyans to exercise restraint following a surge in violence against police officers, including a fatal incident at State House, Nairobi.

• An officer attached to the General Service Unit (GSU) at Gate D of State House was killed by a bow-and-arrow attack from a 56-year-old man identified as Kithuka, who disguised himself as a street family member.
• Another GSU officer died at a hotel near Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) after a physical altercation with a civilian, found submerged in a water-filled trench.
• The IPOA condemned these incidents, which also saw physical assaults on officers and damage to the Kiganjo Police Station, urging the public to use legally established channels for grievances.

An autopsy has revealed that Police Constable Ramadhan Mattanka, a GSU officer guarding State House, Nairobi, died from excessive bleeding after being shot with an arrow on Monday.

• The arrow pierced Mattanka's left seventh and eighth ribs, puncturing his heart.
• The assailant, identified as Kithuka, reportedly attacked Mattanka after being denied entry to State House, using a bow concealed in a sack.
• Unconfirmed reports from CCTV footage suggest a potential dispute between Mattanka and Kithuka, who was a regular visitor to the gate he guarded.
