Posted on by Ozymandias

Two DCI officers, Corporal Julius Onyango Oguma and Officer Charles Macharia, are awaiting sentencing for their respective convictions of receiving a bribe and obstructing EACC investigators.

Oguma was found guilty of accepting a Sh200,000 bribe from a Chinese investor to drop charges against his wife for being in the country illegally. He was also convicted of concealing the bribe money.

Macharia was convicted of obstructing four EACC investigators from arresting Oguma. He drew his firearm and fired in the air to prevent the arrest.

The sentencing was deferred to Wednesday to allow the defense team to file medical records for mitigation. The two officers are currently remanded at the Industrial Area Remand Prison.

DCI Arrest Suspects In Violent Attack & Robbery Of Foreign Couple’s Ksh 4.5 Million

Posted on by Dennis Elnino

The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) in Kenya has arrested four suspects involved in a violent attack and robbery targeting a foreign couple. The incident occurred on October 28, 2023, in the affluent Runda area of Nairobi.

The suspects, identified as Jack Ouma Okwiri, Nashon Otieno Angudha, Felix Ochieng’ Nyongesa, and Ronald Arani Kirera, were arrested at The Social House Nairobi Hotel in Lavington and an office building in Runda Glory Valley.

The victims, an Australian man and his Ugandan wife, were lured to Nairobi under the guise of a gold business deal. The suspects posed as a gold seller and set up a meeting with the couple at Village Market in Gigiri. Upon arrival, the couple was picked up by a driver in a Toyota Prado and taken to an office building along Glory Road in Runda.

More than 10 suspects were waiting for the couple at the office building. The couple was subjected to physical assault, strangulation, and attempts of rape. The suspects made off with $60,000 (Sh9 million) in cash and jewelry valued at over $30,000 (Sh4.5 million).

The victims were later dumped at Rehema Hse within the CBD. Good Samaritans assisted them to a South B hospital, where they received medical attention before reporting the incident to DCI Gigiri.

An intensive operation, led by a team of crime research detectives, resulted in the arrest of the four suspects. The DCI also recovered incriminating evidence at their Runda office, including money counting machines, metallic boxes, forged certificates of mines, customs reflector jackets, military boots, KRA certificates, stamps, a Kenyan flag, and fake golden metal bars.

The DCI has issued a warning regarding the surge in gold scams and similar fraudulent activities. They cautioned potential victims about the existence of well-organized criminal rings and assured the public that detectives are actively pursuing these criminals.

Police officer who died by suicide at DCI headquarters identified

Posted on by Ozymandias

A 59-year-old police corporal named Linus Muia Mutunga has been identified as the officer who died by suicide at the DCI headquarters in Nairobi on Wednesday, October 11, 2023.

Mutunga was a driver attached to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations operations department at the time of the incident. He had served for 40 years and was due to retire at the end of this year.

His colleagues said he was a dedicated officer and suspect that he may not have been ready for retirement. They also said that he locked himself in his car and shot himself in the chest.

The motive of the suicide is yet to be known.

DCI boss Mohamed Amin and chief government pathologist Dr Johansen Oduor visited the scene and established that Mutunga had shot himself in the chest near the heart. They called his family for an autopsy and other procedures.

This is the latest in a series of suicides by police officers in Kenya. Last week, a senior officer died by suicide in his house in the Utawala area of Nairobi.

Police authorities have launched counseling services and established a unit to attend to the demanding situation of police officers as part of efforts to address the trend.

Police officer commits suicide at DCI headquarters

Posted on by Ozymandias

A junior police officer committed suicide on Wednesday at the Directorate of Criminal Investigations headquarters in Nairobi by shooting himself in the head.

His coworkers claimed that he shot himself in the head with a gun in the parking lot after locking himself inside his car. He passed away instantly.

It was not immediately clear why the police officer took such drastic measures. When his coworkers checked after hearing a shot from the parking lot at the operations division, they discovered he had died.

He was shot in the head. In preparation for an autopsy, his body was taken to the mortuary.

Senior personnel were present in the office at the time of the occurrence. The event caused a panic.

This incident is the latest in a series of suicides by police officers in Kenya. Last week, a senior officer committed suicide in the Utawala neighborhood of Nairobi.

Police authorities have started offering counseling services as part of measures to stop the trend, and the National Police Service Commission has set up and staffed a unit to handle their demanding circumstances.

The counseling section will, among other things, assess, plan, and direct an outreach program that aids in the prevention of mental illness and drug abuse.

Every month, there are at least three examples of police personnel who commit suicide.

According to officials, cops are typically the ones that deal with concerns in the neighborhood. In addition to risking their lives, they are expected to preserve law and order in extremely challenging circumstances.

Trauma has been connected to an increase in service-related mortality throughout the years.

Why are police officers committing suicide?

There are a number of factors that may contribute to police suicide, including:

  • Workplace stress: Police officers often have to deal with high levels of stress on a daily basis. They may be exposed to violence, trauma, and death. They may also have to work long hours and deal with difficult people.
  • Mental health issues: Police officers may be more likely to experience mental health issues, such as depression and anxiety, due to the nature of their work.
  • Lack of support: Police officers may not have access to the support they need to cope with the stress of their job. This may include support from their colleagues, supervisors, and families.

Reason Why DCI Will Conceal The Face Of Suspect Behind Nairobi Hospital Staffer’s Murder

Posted on by Dennis Elnino

The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) recently announced the arrest of Ann Adhiambo Akinyi, a 16-year-old suspect in the murder of Nairobi Hospital Finance Director Eric Maigo. The DCI chose to withhold Akinyi’s photograph, citing legal provisions that protect the identities of juvenile offenders in Kenya.

Under the Children and Young Persons Act (CYPA), it is illegal to publish the name, address, school, or photograph of a juvenile offender, or any information that could lead to their identification. This disclosure is only permissible with the explicit permission of the juvenile court or as mandated by the act’s provisions.

The CYPA also establishes specialized juvenile courts to hear all charges against individuals below the age of eighteen. However, cases involving children charged alongside adults are heard in regular adult courts. Juvenile courts have jurisdiction over both criminal matters and non-criminal ‘protection or discipline’ issues.

Juvenile courts are held in separate buildings, on different days, or at different times, and they are closed to the public. Currently, there is only one separate juvenile court in Kenya, located in Nairobi. In other parts of the country, cases involving juveniles are often processed in regular courts on an special basis.

The DCI’s decision to withhold Akinyi’s photograph is a reminder of the importance of protecting the rights of juvenile offenders. Even when juveniles are accused of serious crimes, they still have the right to privacy and the right to a fair trial.

Dead banker’s family demand fresh inquest into his death

Posted on by Ozymandias

The family of Oscar Owino, a 35-year-old man who was found dead at his apartment, is calling on the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) to investigate his death further, as they suspect foul play.

The family’s letter to the DCI, which was addressed to Mr. Mohamed Amin, the Director of the DCI, expressed their dissatisfaction with the way the Nyali police had handled the case. They also raised concerns about the circumstances surrounding Owino’s death.

The family said that they had tried to speak to the last person seen with Owino, his colleague Pheny Kisasati, but that they had found her statements to be inconsistent. They also said that no person of interest had yet provided a statement to the police.

The family outlined several specific concerns that they had about the investigation. These included:

  • The postmortem report, which they said was inconsistent with the injuries that Owino sustained in the alleged fall.
  • The conflicting accounts of the events leading up to Owino’s death.
  • The inconsistent statements made by Kisasati.

The family said that they were “apprehensive” about the way the investigation was being handled and that they believed that a fresh probe was needed. They called on the DCI to “take urgent action” and to “ensure that justice is served” for Owino.

DCI investigate mysterious death of groom to be a day before his wedding

Posted on by Ozymandias

Authorities in Githurai Sub-County are investigating the mysterious death of a man who was found dead in his home just hours before his wedding.

The deceased, Fred Gitau, was to be married to Joyce Waithera at the Deliverance Church in Kahawa Sukari on August 25, 2023. However, his body was found on the morning of the wedding day with a strange foam emanating from his mouth.

A relative who spoke to Nairobi News said that Gitau had expressed concerns about his safety in the days leading up to his death.

“He told us that he was in danger and that if anything happened to him, we should inform the police,” the relative said.

A detective from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) who is privy to the investigation said that Gitau’s shirt for his wedding attire was found in the back seat of his taxi on the day of his death.

“This is a strange case and we are still trying to piece together the events that led to his death,” the detective said.

The police are seeking statements from the best man and the maid of honor, who were reportedly the last people to see Gitau alive.

Perminus Muchangi, the police chief of Kiambu County, said that the investigation is ongoing and that the police will provide updates as they become available.

The death of Fred Gitau is a tragic reminder of the dangers that people face every day. It is important to be aware of your surroundings and to take precautions to protect yourself. If you have any concerns about your safety, please contact the police.

Woman falsely accused of being Mathe wa Ngara spoeaks of her ordeal

Posted on by Ozymandias

Kenyans have been captivated by the story of Teresia Wanjiru and Mathe wa Ngara, following a recent drug bust.

The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) Kenya announced that a woman suspected to be behind drug deals in Ngara had been arrested.

Mathe wa Ngara, the alleged popular bhang seller in Ngara, was arrested in a police operation in Nairobi yesterday.

Mathe, who is said to operate around Kariya B in Nairobi County, disappeared when Teresia Wanjiru was arrested on Tuesday, August 15.

The DCI said in a tweet that they arrested Teresia alongside three minors after the Anti-Narcotics Unit and the Transnational Organized Crime Unit raided her place in the slums of Karuia within Ngara.

Teresia spoke to NTV on Sunday, August 20, describing the events leading to her arrest. She said that she was in her small hotel, as she calls it, when the police raided her place. She said that she was not aware of any drugs being sold in her hotel and that she was innocent of the charges against her.

The police have not yet released any information about Mathe wa Ngara’s arrest. However, the arrest of Teresia Wanjiru and the alleged drug bust in Ngara have sparked a lot of speculation and discussion in Kenya. Many people are wondering who Mathe wa Ngara is and what role she played in the drug trade.

The case is still under investigation and it is not yet clear what charges will be filed against Teresia Wanjiru or Mathe wa Ngara. However, the arrest of these two women has sent a strong message that the police are committed to cracking down on drug trafficking in Kenya.

Majority Leader reveals DCI stole 300 million Kshs from him

Posted on by Ozymandias

During the anti-government protests last month, two arresting police officers, according to majority leader Peter Imwatok, were accused of taking USD2 million (Sh300 million).

Imwatok, a Makongeni MCA and senior principal magistrate in Milimani, informed Robison Ondieki on Wednesday that he lost the millions to two officials on July 21, 2023.

A hotel employee who witnessed the incident, he claimed to the court, strangely passed away two days after the arrest.

Shadrack Wambui was the attorney for Imwatok.

“Two police officers attached to DCI Headquarters serious Crime unit stole USD 2 million belonging to Makongeni MCA Peter Imwatok from a safe at Radisson Blu Hotel Nairobi,”

Wambui testified before the court that a hotel employee who had since been slain strangely had helped the two police officers steal the money from the safe.

Imwatok, along with Makadara MP George Aladwa and Kilimani MCA Moses Ogeto Nyangaresi, had fled into hiding after learning that police were pursuing them in order to detain them for allegedly engaging in subversive activity during the Azimio demonstrations.

When the two officers apprehended Imwatok from his hiding place at a hotel in Nairobi, Wambui reported to Magistrate Ondieki that money had been stolen.

In court on July 21, 2023, Wambui had requested that the two cops deliver the goods they had taken from Imwatok.

The magistrate had mandated that the two officers appear before him on Tuesday.

The officers, however, did not show up, but Gilbert Okemwa, the investigating officer, did. He showed up in court with two phones but not the USD 2 million.

Okemwa was obliged by the court to testify in order to provide information regarding the whereabouts of the two officers and the disputed funds.

Okemwa informed the magistrate that the two people who had Imwatok detained had not paid him any money.

“I confirm the only thing that is in the inventory is only the phones and nothing else. The USD 2 million was not handed to me by the two arresting officers,”

The cop did not, however, reveal the whereabouts of his two coworkers or the reason they did not comply with the court summons by appearing in court yesterday.

After Okemwa stated that the money is not an exhibit in the subversion case, Wambui encouraged the magistrate to stand his ground and order the two to return the USD 2 million they stole from Imwatok.

The defense attorney informed the jury that police have a well-known propensity for robbing suspects of their valuable possessions and money.

“This habit of police must be stopped by this honour court. Order the two officers to return Imwatok’s money or face prosecution,”

Imwatok was taken into custody by the police after Justice Diana Kavedza prohibited Aladwa, Ogeto, and other suspects from being taken into custody alongside him.

The three were given Ksh 100,000 in anticipatory bail while an investigation and subsequent prosecution took place.

Imwatok was detained by the police despite the High Court’s injunction being in effect, and he was charged with subversion with Mathare MP Anthony Oluoch.

Paul Ongili Owino, also known as Babu Owino, and Calvin Okoth, also known as Gaucho, both representatives for the Embakasi East constituency, were also detained and have been prosecuted in court in relation to the demonstration and the accompanying violence.

The magistrate instructed Imwatok to file a lawsuit in the High Court to recover the millions that were stolen.

September 13 will see the case heard.

Police Arrest Suspect in Viral Robbery

Posted on by Ozymandias

Police in Nairobi on Wednesday arrested a suspect linked to a robbery incident on Ngong Road that was captured on CCTV.

The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) said the suspect, Samuel Ndungo Waweru, was captured on footage violently robbing a foreigner of her sling bag. The incident occurred on Wednesday, June 14, 2023, at around 10:00 AM.

The video of the robbery went viral on social media, and the DCI quickly launched an investigation. A team of detectives was deployed to track down the suspect and his accomplices.

The DCI identified Waweru as a member of a gang that has been targeting pedestrians on the walkways of Ngong Road. The gang is believed to have established its base around Mogas Petrol Station on Jogoo Road.

Waweru was arrested at his home in Eastlands, Nairobi, on Wednesday evening. He is currently being held at the Kilimani Police Station, and will be arraigned in court on Thursday.

The DCI said his accomplices have since been identified and put on police radar. A manhunt is underway to track them down and bring them to justice.

The arrest of Waweru is a major breakthrough in the fight against crime in Nairobi. The DCI has urged members of the public to continue to provide information that can help to apprehend criminals.

DPP approves charges against SSU officers in Indian nationals’ disappearance

Posted on by Ozymandias

The Directorate of Public Prosecutions (DPP) has approved charges of abduction and conspiracy to abduct against officers from the disbanded Special Service Unit (SSU) in connection with the puzzling disappearance and alleged murder of two Indian nationals and their Kenyan taxi driver.

The two foreigners, Mohamed Ziad Sami Kidwai and Zulfiqar Ahmed Khan, reportedly arrived in the country in April 2022 to join President William Ruto’s digital campaign team, but went missing on July 25 after they and their taxi driver Nicodemus Mwania were abducted by unknown people outside Ole Sereni hotel in Nairobi.

In a letter to the director of the Internal Affairs Unit (IAU), the agency investigating the case, Senior Assistant Director of Public Prosecutions Joseph Riungu says the charges have been approved pending the results of DNA samples to determine whether the officers will be charged with murder as well.

“In respect of the investigation into the proposed offence of murder, we note that the said report from the Government Chemist analyst and the DNA sample are not yet ready. Therefore, the decision on the said proposed charge will be made when the same is completed and analysed. Consequently, you are directed to arraign the said suspects to answer to the said charges,” reads the letter.

Last month, three IAU detectives travelled to India, accompanied by a doctor, to collect DNA samples from the victims’ families. According to sources, the DPP had recalled the case file for the fourth time last week to ascertain that the investigators had complied with instructions, including obtaining the DNA samples.

The investigation has revealed that DCI officers did not act in unison in the events leading to the abduction and murder of the three. A number of officers from other government departments were also involved in planning and assisting the SSU officers in carrying out criminal activities.

Affidavits filed at the Kahawa Magistrate’s Court and communications between the IAU and the Kenya Wildlife Service indicate that more officers from other security agencies are likely to be charged alongside the SSU officers later this month.

Last year, the families of the two Indians linked their disappearance to state agents when CCTV footage showed their car being blocked and picked up by armed men who left the vehicle at the scene of the abduction. On September 15 last year, then Acting Inspector-General of Police Noor Gabow ordered the IAU to take over the investigation and submit a report for action.

The approval of charges against the SSU officers is a major breakthrough in the investigation into the disappearance and alleged murder of the two Indian nationals and their Kenyan taxi driver. It is hoped that the prosecution of these officers will bring justice to the victims and their families.

Do you agree with Jeff Mwathi’s family or DCI?

Posted on by Ozymandias

Jeff Mwathi’s family has come out to reject the report issued by the DCI who were investigating the death of their son. The police were looking into his mysterious death which occurred after he had gone out for merriment with DJ Fatxo and his cohort.

DJ Fatxo goes to church to celebrate new case developments

Jeff, a young enterpreneur and interior designer had been approached by DJ Fatxo to redesign his office and they indeed agreed to do business together and he even reported back the same to his mother.

Unfortunately, he met his demise when they returned to DJ Fatxo’s abode and therein lies the mystery. After a botched first round of investigations, Jeff Mwathi was quickly buried and later exhumed but as anyone with common sense knows, this coupled with the embalming process would have servely compromised any evidence.

Police hint at not having adequate evidence against DJ Fatxo

DJ Fatxo on his part was steadfast in his denial of any involvement or wrongdoing when it came to the death of the young man. And he seems to have been vindicated according to the DCI findings.

But who do you support? Jeff Mwathi’s family who say there was foul play in the investigation or do you believe the DCI did their level best on this matter?

Jeff Mwathi evidence doctored? What does DJ Fatxo know?

In a case that has attracted a lot of public interest, the DCI Director Mr Mohamed Amin, ordered fresh investigations into the young man’s mysterious death, to establish in greater detail the circumstances leading to his demise on that fateful morning.

Consequently, upon the recommendations of the Homicide experts the body of the deceased has since been exhumed for a fresh autopsy, and toxicological samples obtained in order to establish whether the deceased had taken alcohol prior to the incident and determine its percentage, or any other toxic substances ingested prior to his death. Similarly, DNA samples have been obtained from the deceased and persons of interest in this case for comparison, to ascertain whether allegations of sexual molestation before the deceased’s death hold water.

Other aspects of investigations including forensic analysis of CCTV footage obtained from the apartment where the incident occurred and cyber analysis of digital data has also been conducted for a comprehensive probe. In the meantime, we are currently waiting for a report from the government pathologist, which shall inform part of our final course of action. The Directorate of Criminal Investigations continues to call for patience from the public and the family of the deceased as investigations into this case enters the homestretch.

Kenyans disturbed by ¨Pigwa Shoka¨ new youth jam that glorifies violence against women

Posted on by Gloria Katunge

Soon after the Labour Day celebrations, Friday, the 3rd of May 2019, witnessed the release of youth jam dubbed ¨Pigwa Shoka¨ that has ignited public uproar.

Multiples have come out petitioning both media regulatory body, KFCB and You Tube to make a prompt move and ban the irritating youth jams.

Content

The ¨Pigwa Shoka¨ jam displays youths in ¨blood-stained¨ attires holding axes and machetes and knives covered in blood.

The group of youths is seemingly glorifying violence against women.

The singer apparently seeks aid from his cronies to deal with his girlfriend who he says ¨ashamtoka¨.

However, just yesterday, the 5th of March, KFCB chief whip, Dr. Ezekiel Mutua confirms:

Terrible. We are on it. Thank you for heads up.

The Law

The media ethics´ trailblazer articulates he has shared the matter with the DCI.

They are to search for and arrest on sight, the artists and producers behind the deteriorating content.

He further cites that the song´s producer is one ¨Sheddy Empire¨.

Dr E Mutua shares:

Furthermore, he states that Google has been informed, to be able to narrow down on their You Tube office in Kenya.

The slow process however results from:

We are saddened by the delay.

Global platforms take long on such decisions as the global community policy standards differ from one jurisdiction to another.

KFCB Boss, states that the producers merely out to take advantage of controversy to try and sell their music.

He however urges patience and calm among Kenyans to allow them do their job.

As we speak, the You Tube video has been pulled down with immediate effect.

And all have been urged NOT to share further, the content:

We appeal to members of the public not to dignify such unacceptable content by circulating it on Whatsapp groups.

Background checks

It is quite intolerable if one is to have a recent flashback on the difficult occurrences surrounding the crude death of Moi University medical school´s Ivy Wangechi.

It has just been days, not even a month allowed to close family and friends to mourn such a brilliant, young talent.

And youths are already making fun of it.

The young futuristic trained and top medical student faced her untimely death when her killer, Naftali Kinuthia hacked her to death.

However, the music just released seems to actually sensationalize femicide to ladies who turn down men´s advances.

Feedback

Additionally, it is not only random individuals who feel angered by the undignified song, but celebrity personalities too:

KOT

Kenyans on Twitter share:

https://twitter.com/SayitMiss/status/1124552958149046272?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1124552958149046272&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fnairobinews.nation.co.ke%2Ffeatured%2Fpublic-uproar-piga-shoka

However, some individuals feel Kenyans should allow youths to do ¨their thing¨:

Wachana na vijana wafanye mambo yao

It is definitely quite undermining of the female gender and disappointing of few of Kenya´s youths.

The hashtag and are now trending on Twitter.

Many have come out to advocate for sane, educative and decent music from the Kenyan youths who are the leaders of tomorrow.

 

Meet the Embakasi MP´s wife who owns the Posh Mercedez that was seized by the DCI for tax evasion

Posted on by Gloria Katunge

Last week, detectives from the DCI impounded a posh Mercedes Benz, that is owned by wife to Embakasi MP.

The luxury Mercedes Benz GLA 200 was seized last week for tax evasion, in what the DCI term as part of an organized scheme.

Registered under one, Cynthia Wanjiru Gitonga who is wife to Embakasi West MP, George Theuri.

According to the police, the car was declared as a semi-trailer that was manufactured at a fabricated company in Mombasa and had dodged paying the appropriate tax duty.

Mr George Theuri has been regularly spotted driving the posh vehicle, registration number, KCR 565W, times when he toured his constituency.

Embakasi West MP, Mr George Theuri

The couple has however disputed the claims that they evaded tax duty, stating that he bought the car last year in a showroom.

In a phone interview with Nairobi News, Mr Theuri said the car was actually a birthday gift to his wife.

Yes, I gave the vehicle to my wife as a gift.

But the truth is I bought it in a show room.

The Embakasi MP however, did not disclose details of the show room he purchased the car from.

The luxury Mercedes Benz GLA 200

Further stating that he did a motor vehicle search before the purchase and everything was done above board.

Mr Theuri had presented the car to his wife last year in a flashy birthday party whose photos were shared across various social media platforms.
