According to report reaching out to our desk, detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) have arrested four police officers for their alleged involvement in an illegal arms and ammunition trade.
The arrests have raised concern among security agencies and the public, as the case has been linked to rising insecurity in various parts of the country.
According to DCI sources, the four officers have been under surveillance for weeks after intelligence reports revealed that they might have been supplying firearms to criminal gangs.
The officers have been accused of using their access to police armories to divert weapons and ammunition, which has fueled a wave of robberies and violent attacks.
DCI officials have confirmed that the operation has been carried out swiftly to prevent further misuse of state-issued firearms.
“We have acted decisively because the integrity of our security forces has to be protected. Those found guilty will face the full force of the law,” DCI have stated.
The arrest is such a disappointment that those entrusted with protecting them could have been part of the problem.
It is good to warn that such incidents have the potential to undermine public trust in law enforcement.
The four officers have been taken into custody and will be arraigned in court once investigations have been completed.
The DCI has assured Kenyans that no one is above the law and that more arrests might follow if further evidence is found.
This latest crackdown has shown that the government has renewed its commitment to fighting crime and restoring order across the country. Authorities have urged the public to remain calm as investigations continue.
