Cops Thwart Bandit Attack

Two Police officers have thwarted a bandit attack by over 20 raiders, who had laid an ambush on a lorry transporting livestock from Moyale in upper eastern, to Nairobi. The two gallant officers Corporal Aden Koise and Constable Robert Njau,
repulsed the bandits in a volley of fire, that the bandits had never experienced in their lifetime.
This evening at around 6pm, the two officers were escorting over 40 heads of cattle for slaughter in Nairobi, when they were ambushed by the bandits believed to be
Samburu warriors. What followed was an exchange of fire that sent the bandits scampering for safety, as the officers unleashed an avalanche of fire that they had never experienced in their lifetime. Owing to the increasing cases of bandit attacks experienced in the area,
officers drawn from Marsabit Central police station had escorted the lorry, only to encounter the bandits at Malgis area. In an attempt to capture the lorry and steal the cattle, the raiders fired at the cabin of the truck missing its occupants by a whisker.
The aftermath was shocking.
Corporal Koise ordered PC Njau, to engage his HK 21 that rent the air ferociously leaving a deafening silence in its wake, as the raiders scampered for safety heavily wounded.
Thankfully, the two police officers whose bravery we celebrate escaped the onslaught unscathed, as well as the cattle they were escorting.

They’re expected to arrive in the capital city anytime from now. #FichuakwaDCI 0800 722 203.l

Man Loses Close To 600K, After Sizzling Night With Mombasa Damsel

What began as a night of merry making with a happy ending in sight almost turned tragic for a patron, after he was stupefied by a woman he had met at a high end establishment in Mombasa county.
The man who was in Mombasa for a business trip had decided to unwind at the newly launched VIP Club Volume in Shanzu, before he met the woman who laced his drink with a stupefying substance and swept his bank accounts clean. After having several drinks alone,
the man got attracted to one of Mombasa’s beautiful babes who had swaggered past his table in well calculated strides. Without wasting time, the man who was deeply smitten by her looks beckoned her to join him, before another man laid his eyes on her.

Detectives based in Busia's Butula sub-county are in pursuit of a gang that was captured on CCTV breaking into a car at Western Ambiance Hotel in Bumula, stealing Sh2.14 million.

In the 3pm incident yesterday, the 47-yr-old victim had withdrawn the hefty sum of cash from a bank
located in Busia town, stashed it in a bag which he placed in the trunk of his Toyota Premio before starting a journey towards Kisumu.

He made a brief stop at Western Ambiance Hotel to calm hunger pangs, after which he continued with his journey.

Shortly after take-off, he
was taken aback after realizing a second bag that was in the rear seat of his car containing his clothes and more cash amounting to Sh 144,000 was missing.

Amidst hope and supplication that the worst had not happened, he pulled over and went for the larger sum in the trunk,

The get-rich-quick schemes by a section of Kenyans appears to have gone a notch higher, after two suspects were arrested with crushed padlocks disguised as gold. Rogers Kipkogei and Collins Chavera, posing as agents of a Congo based gold baron,

hundreds of SIM cards from local mobile telecommunications networks and stolen identification cards from Kenyans were recovered from the suspects’ hideout in Uthiru, Kiambu county. Detectives believe the suspects use the personal information from the identification documents,
