Days after a brazen home invasion in Chiga, Kisumu East Sub-County, was captured on CCTV and sparked widespread public outrage, detectives have struck back, arresting three suspects believed to be behind the violent robbery.
The breakthrough follows a meticulously coordinated, intelligence-led operation by detectives from the Crime Research and Intelligence Bureau (CRIB), Nyanza, and DCI Kisumu East.
The operation began at Kisumu Rotary College, where detectives arrested Reagan Otieno Silvester, believed to be one of the three robbers captured on CCTV during the July 30, 2026 incident.Β
Investigations indicate that he is the suspect seen carrying away a stolen 55-inch Hisense television from the victimβs house.
Following his arrest, Reagan led detectives to Rabour area in Kadibo Sub-County, where his accomplice, Mohamed Ramadhan alias Moha, had been hiding.
Upon arrival, detectives arrested Christopher Onyango Okoth and Fidel Omondi Were. However, Mohamed Ramadhan slipped through the police dragnet after scaling a perimeter wall and fleeing.
A search of Mohamed Ramadhanβs rented house in Nyangβande led to the recovery of an imitation firearm resembling a pistol concealed beneath a bed, together with several SIM cards.
A subsequent search at Reagan Otienoβs residence yielded additional property suspected to have been stolen. Among the recovered items was the national identity card of a victim of a robbery with violence in which a 55-inch television and other valuables were stolen, providing detectives with a crucial lead linking the suspects to the offence.
The three suspects are in custody undergoing processing pending arraignment. All recovered items have been secured as exhibits as detectives continue to pursue the fugitive suspect and work to identify the rightful owners of the recovered property.
The DCI remains relentless in its pursuit of violent criminals and appeals to anyone with information that may lead to the arrest of the remaining suspect to report to the nearest police station or anonymously through #FichuaKwaDCI. Call 0800 722 203 (Toll-free) or WhatsApp at 0709 570 000.
