Nairobi: Pakistani journalist  Arshad Sharif was shot dead by Kenyan Police on Sunday in a  mistaken identity case after the vehicle he was in failed to stop at a roadblock mounted in the area, local media reports said on Monday.

A senior officer at Vigilance House has told The Standard that they will be issuing a comprehensive report on the incident later.

"I am yet to establish where the said car is. However, I can confirm that the body of the male victim, identified as that of Arshad Sharif, is at the Chiromo Mortuary," the source who sought anonymity said.

Sharif’s wife Javeria Siddiqui earlier tweeted: " I lost friend, husband and my favourite journalist @arsched today, as per police he was shot in Kenya. Respect our privacy and in the name of breaking pls don't share our family pics, personal details and his last pictures from hospital. Remember us in ur prayers."
