DCI TOPS THE DISCIPLINED FORCES SHOOTING COMPETITION
It was a perfect aim and shot on the target streak as members of DCI's elite Emergency Response Team (ERT) demonstrated their rifle shooting prowess during the Annual Disciplined Forces Shoot, 2024 at the Bamburi Riffle Club, Mombasa.
In the competition which comprised seven categories, the DCI managed to scoop 13 trophies, sparing 21 to be shared among the other teams drawn from KDF, GSU, Kenya Prisons, Kenya Police Service and KWS who won 6, 8, 3, 2, 2 trophies respectively.
Engineer Sammy Onyango, the African Riffle champion and ERT official trainer for five years was a happy man after witnessing the team receive a standing ovation from the other competitors. Sammy reminisced how he introduced the team to sports shooting and sharpened their skills to their current indomitable state.
Raising the curtains, Alvince Osura, the Officer Commanding DCI Emergency Response Team at the Anti-terrorism Police Unit opened the pistol range with rhythmic shots to the targets, injecting jitters among other forces. Other shooters from the team followed suit, well to the desperation of other medal seekers.
Armed with her weapon of choice, DCI's crème de la crème Agnes Wangechi (Gungirl) rapidly released copper rounds to her targets, scooping scores likened to the numerous miracles at Capernaum. Her win thrust the Sleuths to the topmost podium in the overall winners category, taking home 13 trophies and leaving the awarding table almost empty.
Among other high-ranking officials present at the event included the organizer of the event and Chairman - Bamburi Rifle Club Mr Abdulhakim Daud, VC Bamburi Rifle Club Mr Ramadhan Mohamed and Changamwe Sub-County Criminal Investigations Officer Mr Robert Kiinge.
