A shocking video from a nightclub in Kagio, Kirinyaga County, has ignited widespread public outrage after a security guard was captured violently assaulting a drunk man inside the club.
The clip, which has gone viral across social media platforms, shows the intoxicated man lying helplessly on the floor as the guard repeatedly strikes him in the head and chest within a narrow corridor.
At one point, the guard can be heard shouting, “Tunauwa!” while continuing the attack on the disoriented man.
The footage has sparked anger among Kenyans, many of whom have questioned the intentions behind the brutal scuffle.
"This security guard should be arrested; a drunk person is defenseless," one user wrote on X.

"How do you assault your customer after selling him alcohol... You still need him tomorrow," another added.
The incident evokes painful memories of a similar tragedy at Nairobi’s VVIP Rooftop Club, where a popular dancer, Kisia, died from head injuries caused by blunt force trauma.
According to his family, Kisia was attacked by two security guards following a misunderstanding, a version of events corroborated by multiple eyewitnesses.
"He was dancing on the stairs when one bouncer grabbed him and handed him to another. That one held him by the neck. That’s the last they saw him," explained his brother, Vincent Mudoga.
Witnesses allege that Kisia was strangled, dragged into a room, and left to die. His family searched desperately for four days with no answers, met only by silence.
"The last time I saw him was Sunday. He said, 'I'll be back Monday morning.' By Tuesday, there was no word, nothing. They hadn’t even posted about him on their club’s social media pages. That’s when I knew something was wrong," recalled his brother, Kennedy Ambani.
Ambani also described a cold response when he reached out for information. "I called the club cameraman. He just told me, 'If it’s about Kisia, go ask the management,'" he added.
The family’s worst fears were confirmed when an autopsy revealed that Kisia had died from injuries consistent with a sustained beating, including head trauma caused by a blunt object.
