Police officer identified as shooter who wounded protester Eli Joshua during demonstration in Nairobi

What was meant to be a peaceful protest turned into a national outrage when a police officer opened fire on an unarmed civilian, Eli Joshua.

But as Kenyans demanded answers, the name behind the gun has finally been revealed — and the story is sparking even more questions.

Officer Identified After Shooting of Eli Joshua

Information reaching TDPel Media confirms that the police officer responsible for the shooting is known by several names: Climzy Bantarizah Batarizahke, also referred to on social media as Klinzy M. Barasa.

He’s now being widely referred to as the “killer cop” after allegedly opening fire on Eli Joshua during a recent protest.

The Victim Is Alive and Recovering

Despite the chaos and early confusion, there’s a bit of relief in the air — Eli Joshua survived the shooting.

He is currently undergoing treatment and recovering at Kenyatta National Hospital, with support pouring in from concerned citizens across the country.

IG Orders Swift Action Against the Officer

In response to public outcry, Inspector General Douglas Kanja has issued an immediate directive: arrest the officer and bring him before a court of law without delay.

The directive sends a strong message that such recklessness within the police force will not be tolerated.

Who Is the Officer Behind the Gun?

Details are beginning to emerge about the officer.

He reportedly attended Sidikho Friends School in Navakholo and is originally from Kharanda.

He is believed to have been stationed in Kayole, though official confirmations are still pending.

Social Media Accounts Locked or Limited

Following the incident, the officer’s online presence has come under scrutiny.

His TikTok account (@batarizahke) currently has comments limited, and his Facebook profile (Climzy Bantarizah) appears to be locked — possibly in an effort to avoid public backlash or detection.

What Happens Next?

With public anger rising and the identity of the shooter confirmed, all eyes are now on how the justice system handles this case.

Will the officer be arrested and prosecuted swiftly, or will this become yet another case of impunity?
