Nairobi, Kenya – A General Service Unit (GSU) officer assigned to the Nairobi residence of South Sudan President Salva Kiir was arrested on Tuesday night after allegedly shooting and injuring a fellow officer.

According to a police report, officers on patrol along Gigiri Road noticed the suspect seated outside the residence on February 25. They suspected he was smoking cannabis and approached him for questioning. However, the officer reportedly attempted to flee and opened fire when pursued.

“Officers on patrol came across the suspect sitting under the shade at the edge of Salva Kiir’s residence wall. As they approached him, the suspect started running away, defying their orders to stop. He responded by firing at the officers, whereby he shot one of them on his right hip,” the police report stated.

The injured officer was rushed to MP Shah Hospital for treatment. Medical personnel confirmed that he is in stable condition, though a bullet remains lodged in his left thigh.

Police managed to subdue and arrest the suspect, who was later identified as a GSU officer. His official Ceska pistol was confiscated before he was detained at Gigiri Police Station. Investigations into the motive behind the shooting are ongoing.

This incident follows another shooting just days earlier, involving a police constable assigned to the security detail of a top company CEO. The officer allegedly shot and killed his colleague after a dispute outside a bar in Ruaraka, Nairobi County.

The slain officer, identified as Constable Raphael Kimilu Wambua from the GSU, had been out with his brother when an argument erupted between him and another officer on February 22 at around 1:30 a.m. The dispute escalated into a physical altercation before the suspect drew his firearm and fatally shot Wambua.

Authorities transported Wambua’s body to Kenyatta University Mortuary while the suspect, who was also injured, was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment. Investigations into both incidents continue as police work to establish the circumstances surrounding the shootings.
