Jaguar ‘hospitalised after battling city askaris in Marikiti’


Starehe MP Charles Njagua, popularly known as Jaguar, claims he has been hospitalized after picking a fight with Nairobi City Council officers.

The youthful MP announced that he is admitted at Karen Hospital after getting injured during a scuffle with the askaris.

Jagua had on Thursday morning gone to Marikiti Market to protest alleged harassment of traders by the county askaris. The traders were also demanding the release of their chairman who had reportedly been arrested  earlier.

In the ensuing commotion, the ‘One Centimeter’ hit maker allegedly broke his leg and was rushed to Karen Hospital.

Jaguar announced his hospitalisation on his Twitter account while responding to a cheeky comment from a follower.

The follower BenAli Jabali had tweeted; “In Uganda Bobi Wine has been arrested earlier today while heading to parliament to oppose Social media Tax. In Kenya Jaguar is still releasing silly songs.”

In response Jaguar tweeted; “Come visit me at Karen Hospital broke my leg at Marikiti market when fighting with county officers who are harassing traders.”

The post  elicited mixed reactions from his followers.

Humphrey Moturi; “Good leaders don’t show their might by fighting kanjo. Instead make laws which protect the rights of those hawkers.”
