A senior ranking police officer was Thursday rushed to hospital after he collapsed at his Nairobi home.
The officer was in his Karen residence when he complained of difficulties in breathing and collapsed.
His team had dropped him home earlier and were preparing for Friday’s schedule.
His wife and workers raised the alarm and security guards manning the gate rushed him to a city hospital.
Officials said he was admitted at the Aga Khan hospital’s high dependency unit (HDU).
The HDU is a specialist ward providing intensive care (treatment and monitoring) for critically ill people.
Due to legal and ethical reasons, we will not publish the officer’s identity.
A relative and friends of the senior police officer said the patient was responding well to treatment.
It is not clear what caused the health emergency. Select friends and relatives were allowed to visit him at the hospital on Friday.
The senior officer has in past collapsed and was rushed to the same hospital where he made a quick recovery.
In 2020 he collapsed, again, in the wake of Covid-19 pandemic and was treated at the same hospital.
Close family friends said he has a history of high blood pressure. BY THE STAR
