The top DJ, who is presently detained at the Kabete Police Station alongside his bouncer, driver and photographer, allegedly attacked the Kabete Police Station Deputy DCIO on March 16, 2024.

3 other police officers were arrested and detained at Kabete Police Station.

Following the attack, the deceased officer was rushed to Lang’ata Hospital before being transferred to Nairobi West Hospital where he passed away while undergoing treatment.

The deceased was allegedly assaulted by the DJ and his accomplices after a minor accident earlier. It is claimed that DJ Mfalme and his entourage attacked the law enforcement officer after he accidentally scratched the DJ's vehicle.

The alleged assault occurred near the Kikuyu Police Station at an entertainment joint in the wee hours of the morning.

A video surfaced online showing the moment DJ Mfalme was arrested in connection to the officer's death, showing the dramatic arrest scene, with officers tossing the DJ into a vehicle as he pleaded his innocence.
