A bus plying on the Githurai route has found itself on the wrong side of the law after it was reported that a tout pushed a Nairobi Institute of Business Studies (NIBS) student out of the moving vehicle.
The student, who has only been identified as Doreen, was reportedly shoved out of the Zamzam bus at Safari Park hotel stage. She was rushed to Neema hospital where she succumbed to the injuries.
The story was posted on Facebook by one Peter Pekat, who was requesting witnesses of the alleged brutality to record a statement with the police.
