A General Service Unit (GSU) Recce police officer has died after being electrocuted while washing his bicycle at the camp in Kimbo, Juja Sub-County, Kiambu County.

The deceased officer, identified as Police Constable Benedict Juma Oduori, reportedly suffered the fatal accident on Saturday, October 25, 2025, while using an electric car wash machine to clean his personal bicycle at the camp’s car wash area.

According to a police report by Chief Inspector (C.I) Meshack Ikuthu, who is attached to the same camp, Oduori was found lying unconscious by the sentry on duty while holding the machine.

He was immediately rushed to the camp’s dispensary before being referred to Kenyatta University Referral Hospital, where he was pronounced dead while receiving treatment. 

A postmortem examination was done at K.U Referral Hospital to determine the exact cause of death.
