VIDEO:Man hangs on chopper carrying Jacob Juma’s body

A man was injured after hanging on the plane carrying the body of the late city businessman Jacob Juma while taking off.

The chopper, which landed at the Posta Grounds for public viewing of the body, attracted a huge crowd with hundreds of residents coming to bid farewell to the slain businessman.

The surging crowd moved closer to the chopper with some residents even trying to gain access into it.

Following the big number of residents coming to pay their last respect to Juma, the pilot – who was still in the chopper – decided to take off with the man hanging on it and refusing to let go.

Shortly after take-off, the pilot lowered the plane for the man to jump off but he continued clinging on to it. The pilot had no other option but to drop him forcefully, something that left him with some serious injuries.

He was rushed to Lumboka Memorial Hospital in Bungoma for treatment.
