Jarajila Ward MCA Noor Sheikh Farah has been involved in an incident where he chased several women into Albeik Hotel while wielding a knife.

In the viral video footage he appears to lose interest in the women and goes about turning chairs and wrecking havoc indiscriminately. A stampede ensues at the hotel entrance and he continues chasing customers outside the hotel for a short while.

He then walks into the kitchen and shortly comes out marching and saluting military-style.

The whole charade shows a man mentally imbalanced and needing serious medical attention.

However an incident report was filed at Garissa Police Station and the unhinged MCA continues to roam the streets, a free man.

According to the Garissa sub-County police boss the incident is under investigation.

What level of violence is required before the culprit is restrained? What further evidence is needed to confirm that an adult is off kilter, besides wielding a dangerous weapon and threatening lives?

A reverse search has revealed that the MCA holds very strong views on UNHCR refugee camps in the region. At one time he made a public statement accusing the county government in laxity to enforce stricter refugee laws.

“Our communities have suffered irreparable damage from hosting the refugees in their settlements for 35 years. We need public participation; our voice regarding the plan is important but we were ignored,” he lamented before walking out on a parliamentary session.

While mood disorders, like depression and bipolar disorder, are not directly associated with violence in most cases, they can be a contributing factor. Some individuals with mood disorders may experience increased irritability or aggression as a symptom of their condition, particularly during manic or hypomanic episodes in bipolar disorder. Additionally, certain personality disorders and trauma-related conditions, like PTSD, can coexist with mood disorders and increase the risk of violent behavior.
