How a stray bullet changed the life of a Nairobian man

Mr Fredrick Omondi, 35, is walking around with a bullet in his chest. Omondi claims that he was hit by a stray bullet 2 weeks ago while he was in a regular meeting in shauri mwoyo. It all started after police officers raided an illicit brew den that was just a few meters away from where Omondi and other members of a welfare group were holding a meeting.

There was some commotion at the illicit brew den as some residents attempted to stop the raid and later Omondi recalls hearing gunshots. One of the members in the meeting where Omondi was suggested they leave since they could be hit by a stray bullet and it was then that after some few minutes a bullet Hit Omondi on his right hand and penetrated through and stopped at his chest. He was lucky since it had not raptured any of his bones.

After seeking medical attention, he was told by the doctor to remain with the bullet as it was too close to the heart and removing it could risk rapturing an artery.
