Actor and Radio personality Davies Mwabili, popularly known as Inspekta Mwala, is on the spot after he hit and killed a pedestrian in Kaloleni, Kilifi County.
Kilifi police commander Patrick Okeri said Mr Mwabili knocked down a 35-year-old man killing him on the spot on Monday night (26.08.19).
The actor was driving from Kaloleni town on Mazeras Highway when he hit the man who was crossing the road, the police boss said.
According to police reports, the veteran actor was drunk during the 11 pm accident. Police allege the accident occurred when the actor tried to overtake a car and veered off the road, SDE reported.
Mr Okeri said the actor is out on police bail and the vehicle is being detained at Kaloleni Police Station. The police boss said the body of the pedestrian was taken to Coast General Hospital Mortuary in Mombasa.
Nearly a week ago Mwala made headlines after a video of an incident in Radio Citizen studios where Mwala tried to forcefully kiss his co-host Melody Sinzore went viral.
In the video, Mwala is seen walking from his seat to Melody’s. It took the efforts of radio presenter Jerida Andayi to stop him. “Are you my wife or not? Huyu msichana ananizoea (This girl is getting used to me). You’re taking this joke too far,” Mwala said as he forcefully tried to kiss the hapless Sinzore.
Following criticism from netizens, Mwala issued a public apology to Melody and listeners.
