Published on October 26, 2019, detectives from Kayole police station arrested a fellow officer, Corporal David Odhiambo Mito, after he was found in possession of assorted police items at his home in Mihang'o, Kayole estate.
Corporal Mito was linked to several criminal incidents reported in the area and was serving interdiction prior to his arrest.
According to Kayole Sub-County Police Commander Wilson Kosgei, Mito was arrested together with a civilian who was found at his residence during the arrests.
"As officers, we only have 3 pairs of uniform. How can an officer have more than that? When the suspect noticed police presence in his home, he attempted to escape by driving off but police intercepted him," said Kosgei.
Police recovered assorted items belonging to the police, including uniforms, handcuffs, boots, knapsacks, belts, socks, and both national and police flags, which were stuffed in white and green sacks and hidden in Mito's house.
