ARREST OF POLICE OFFICERS IN GITHURAI ROBBERY ATTEMPT

Police officers based at Githurai Police Post have apprehended Kelvin Chomba alongside two police officers, Fredrick Githinji Waithera and Edward Chege Mwangi, for their involvement in an attempted robbery with violence incident that unfolded along the Githurai-Soweto railway line.

On the night of February 17, 2025, while conducting routine patrol duties, the officers stumbled upon a disturbing scene.

The three had pinned a member of the public to the ground attempting to rob him of his valuables.

Acting swiftly and decisively, the officers intervened, arresting the trio and escorting them to Githurai Police Post where they are undergoing processing to be arraigned tomorrow.

The Directorate of Criminal Investigations issues a stern warning to members of the public and police officers against collaborating in criminal undertakings as such activities will be met with the full force of the law.

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.
