The National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) officers on Friday arrested a rogue Embassava Sacco conductor who allegedly threw a passenger out of a moving bus on Outering Road in Nairobi.

The said passenger, a 17-year-old boy, reportedly died on the spot.

Roads and Transport Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen said the tout, since identified as Dennis Mageto Ombichi, has now been handed to the police and is set to be arraigned.

“Following the unfortunate incident that led to the loss of the life of a passenger onboard a vehicle belonging to Embasava Sacco, the conductor who was at large has been apprehended by NTSA and handed over to the police,” Murkomen said in a statement on Friday.

“Dennis Mageto Ombichi was booked vide O.B 12/19/05/2023 at Capital Hill Police Station for the offence of failing due care of passengers aboard a PSV Vehicle.”

CS Murkomen mourned the deceased, further reassuring his family that the suspect will face the full wrath of the law.

The incident occurred in Pipeline, Embakasi East Constituency, on Wednesday evening; witnesses said the conductor pushed the teenager out of the moving bus, which simultaneously then ran over him.

The deceased, who was accompanied by his brother, is said to have fallen short of Ksh.20 while paying his bus fare.

A scuffle thereby ensued after which the conductor reportedly tossed him out of the bus, leading to his death.

Passersby and onlookers rushed to the scene baying for the conductor’s blood and set the bus on fire; the conductor however managed to evade the irate mob and fled.

Embassava Sacco management has since refuted claims that the boy was pushed, instead maintaining that he fell by accident.
