A laboratory technologist at Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital (MTRH) in Eldoret is crying out for justice and protection after surviving a near-fatal shooting allegedly carried out by her estranged lover — a Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) officer based in Sotik.
Grace Nduku Mwangagi says the officer, identified as Japin Nyachae, shot her in the face on October 13, 2025, after enduring years of domestic abuse and threats.
The bullet ripped through her cheek and ear, narrowly missing vital organs — a brutal attack that has left her permanently scarred and traumatized.
Despite the severity of the incident, Nduku claims that the officer remains on active duty, even as the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) continues investigating the matter under reference number IPOA/CMU/3638/2025.
“I am scared for my life and my child. He is still free and armed. No woman should have to live in fear in her own home,” she said tearfully.
Nduku is now appealing to authorities for protection and accountability, saying the system has failed to shield her from a man who once vowed to love her.
As she continues her recovery, her case underscores growing concerns over gender-based violence involving law enforcement officers, and the need for faster disciplinary action against officers accused of domestic or criminal misconduct.
