A Woman identified as Hanah Waiganjo is nursing injuries on her head and hands after being pushed out of a moving vehicle by a conductor on Thika Road.
The incident that occurred on Tuesday at Roysambu area, is reported to have arose following an argument over bus fare and Hanah’s request to be dropped at Thika Road Mall
“Alituambia kwamba alikuwa anaomba ashukishwe TRM… huyo conductor akamwambia hapa huezi lipa hiyo pesa, basi akamwambia ju nimekupa pesa, kata pesa yako unipatie change. Hata hakumpea change, akamrusha gari ikiwa kwa kasi akaanguka akapata majeraha mabaya …,” says Cecilia Njoki, a family member to the victim.
The conductor is then reported to have taken to his heels after the incident as the passengers demanded that the driver takes Hanah to Uhai Neema Hospital.
After taking her to the hospital, the driver also attempted to flee before being blocked by the hospital guards.
“Huyo driver alikuwa anataka kukimbia wakazuiliwa na management wasiendee kabla hawajajua hali ya mgonjwa. Kabla hawajaondoka ndio my uncle akaja akajulisha polisi hiyo gari ndio imemgonga na polisi wakachukua gari ikapelekwa Kasarani Police Station,” added Cecilia Njoki.
Hanah was then transferred to St. Peter’s Orthopaedic, Muthiga where she is currently admitted taking into consideration the nature of her injuries.
