NAIROBI; KENYA: Controversial musician Prezzo
is on the run after he was involved in a gun fight
outside a popular club in Nairobi's Westlands
area.
Police say they want Prezzo aka Jackson Makini to
report to Parklands Police Station for grilling after
he allegedly assaulted a Swiss military officer in
the head with gun butt and holster on Saturday
morning.
The two are said to have been involved in an
argument outside Aqua Bar over a parking slot at
about 3am.
According to Gigiri Division police boss Vitalis
Otieno, Prezzo had obstructed the military
colonel from Switzerland which prompted the
argument.
"When the military officer came back ready to go,
an argument broke out over the parking slot
which degenerated to an assault using a gun. We
want him to report at Parklands," said Otieno.
The military officer is attached to Amisom and
was headed to Ethiopia Saturday morning when
the incident occurred. He was forced to cancel
his flight. Otieno said he was treated and
discharged from MP Shah Hospital.
And after the drama, Prezzo is said to have tried
to cock and shoot at the officer who was bleeding
at that time.
Otieno cited witnesses who said Prezzo was
restrained by his bodyguards who dragged him to
his car and drove off.
A hunt on him was on-going on Saturday morning
even as police appealed to him to surrender.
Police visited his home but they did not find him.
It's not clear if Prezzo is a licensed gun holder.
We could not reach him for a comment over the
allegations as his mobile phone was switched off.
