Wakki News The weird is fun
This video has aroused a lot of emotions on the internet as many are moved by empathy due to this man’s condition.
A video circulating online shows a man who is homeless pleading with police officers to lock him up in their cell and come up with any charge against him.
The Kenyan man identified as Alex Omondi, told the officers that his house had been locked up by his landlord, making him a homeless man.
He said he had not committed any crime, he thought it prudent to approach the law enforcement agency for help because the “police motto is Service to All”.
“I don’t have a place to sleep. My house has been closed by the landlord. So, I am here because the police motto is Service to All,” Omondi is heard in he video pleading passionately to the police in a local language.

The desperate man who spoke in a local language told the police officers that they could decide whether to release him the following morning or take him to court for whatever charges they preferred.
The police officers told the man that the police cells were meant only for criminals and not innocent people like him, but he kept insisting that the officers should help him either fabricate a charge against him or suggest a crime for him to commit, just so that he would be arrested and detained.
“Or is there a flag hoisted somewhere that I can lower so that you find something to arrest me for?” Omondi asked the officers, as translated by tuko.co.ke.
When he realised that the officers wouldn’t throw him, into the cells, the helpless man requested an empty desk to sit on.
The video did not indicate how the police officers eventually helped Omondi.
Many Kenyan internet users were touched by the man’s story and they are calling for people to assist him.
