Drunk Police Officer Robbed By Boda Boda Gang, Steals Gun
A police officer is currently in critical condition after being attacked by a group of armed boda boda guys who stole his pistol in the Mihango area of Nairobi County’s Eastern Bypass.
According to a police report, the officer and his friends went to a drinking joint in the Mihango area around 9 p.m.
After hours of drinking, the officer and his friends relocated to another establishment and continued their activities until 2 a.m., when he decided to leave for home.
While narrating the ordeal, the officer revealed that he chose to leave for his parents’ home, which was located near the drinking joint.
However, while on his way home, the officer was abruptly approached by two people on a bodaboda bike, who stole from him.
During the scrimmage, the two individuals stole the police officer’s Ceska pistol, wallet, and mobile phone.
Following the incident, he reported the mugging to a nearby station, prompting Mihang’o officers and Kayole detectives to visit the scene.
Officers from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) also went to the two bars where the police officer spent some of the night partying.
Furthermore, the officers went to the victim’s parents’ house before questioning the officer’s wife, who confirmed that the victim had indeed left the house with the gun.
During the interrogation, the police officers arrested and detained the officer who appeared to be injured from the altercation with the alleged thieves.
“The officer was placed in custody while appearing drunk and with bruises on the mouth, elbow and on the right knee with torn trousers and T-shirt to assist in investigations,” read part of the police report.
In a similar incident in December of last year, robbers attacked an Officer Commanding a Station (OCS) in Vihiga County and stole his firearm.
According to the police report, the OCS had just parked his car outside a shop when an unknown number of men attacked and stabbed him before fleeing with the Jericho pistol.
