Lamu Senator Anwar Loitiptip was busted assaulting a woman reported to be his lover at Nanyuki town moments before he shot another who is currently nursing a broken leg.
Joy Makena, a woman who was shot on the leg by Anwar Loitiptip says that they busted him poking a woman with a wooden stick in a corridor.
The woman who was in the company of Anwar Loitiptip appealed to Joy Makena and other passers-by to help her escape from the hands of the violent Senator.
“We were taking our friend home and when we got to where the senator was, the woman he was with was seated on the floor. The moment she saw us she started shouting, please help me,
“The senator was holding a mop stick with which he was using to assault the woman. I spoke up and told the senator there is no use to hurt her just talk and agree,” said Makena’s kin, named Turo in this video interview seen by Kivumbi.co.ke.
According to Joy Makena, her intervention in the fight angered the Lamu Senator who turned his anger towards her and Turro.
The visibly agitated senator is said to have charged at the two, hitting them with the wooden mop stick before heading to his car to draw a gun.
“Then he ran back to his car. The woman he was with shouted at us to run because he was going to get his gun. We ran into Kanu grounds and split.
Makena ran to a well-lit area and he shot at her and hit her on the leg. The second shot missed her narrowly and landed in the tree,” Turo narrated.
Makena asked for help from Turro, but Senator Anwar went running after him, wanting to shoot him too.
“He still followed me. Running as his trousers kept falling down. He was running and lifting it up. He ran past Makena who was lying down injured and followed me all the way to the entrance,” the witness recalled.
On a fateful day, the Lamu Senator told police officers that he had been attacked by a woman and two men.
