SUSPECT IN THE FATAL SHOOTING OF A KAMUKUNJI RESIDENT ARRESTED

A 27-year-old man linked to the fatal shooting of Abdirahim Abdullahi Ibrahim which occurred on November 9, 2024 at DD Plaza in Nairobi's Kamukunji area has been arrested.

The suspect identified as Paul Odhiambo Owuodho alias Fazul Muhamed was arrested last evening in an intelligence-led operation conducted jointly by Shauri Moyo detectives and their DCI Hqs counterparts.

According to a report booked at California Police Station, a security guard had on the fateful night of November 9 heard a gunshot, before informing the police who rushed to the scene and found Abdirahim's body lying in a pool of blood, dead. He had a bullet shot through his neck. After days of investigations and relentless pursuit, the suspect was last night traced to his hole within Kiambiu slums and taken to custody.

Shauri Moyo detectives have taken up the investigation ahead of Odhiambo's arraignment on Monday. In the ongoing investigation, the detectives seek to establish the links between the suspect and the gang of three that in August 2023 accosted and gunned down DCI officer David Mayaka at Mihang'o area of Kayole.

About

The establishment, development and growth of Criminal Investigations Department can be traced to the evolvement of the Kenya Police to which it remains one of the key formations. The first police officers were recruited in 1887 by the Imperial British East Africa Company, I.B.E.A. to provide security for stores in Mombasa. It was from these humble beginnings that the Kenya Police was born.
