THE INDEPENDENT Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) has directed the Met Police to hold a disciplinary hearing for a firearms officer who shot Chris Kaba.

NX121 was unanimously acquitted of the murder of Mr Kaba following an Old Bailey trial in October 2024.

In March 2024, firearms officer NX121 was named as Martyn Blake following a judge’s decision to lift an anonymity order – which prevented his identity from being revealed.

Mr Kaba, 24, died in September 2022 in Streatham, south London, after a single gunshot wound sustained during a Met operation.
