Detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) have launched a manhunt for four suspects who killed a giraffe for meat in Daadab’s Dagahaley area in Garissa County.
In a statement on Wednesday, June 5, DCI said police officers from Dagahale Police Station received information on the four suspects and rushed into the scene, intercepting a Toyota Alto vehicle loaded with the game meat.
“Swiftly acting on information shared by residents at Kumahumato village, officers from Dagahale Police Station rushed to the scene, intercepting a Toyota Alto Reg.No. KCT 727T overloaded with the animal just as it struggled to rev up,” read the DCI statement in part.
According to the DCI, the four suspects disappeared into nearby thickets after seeing the police officers.

“On sighting the police cruiser, the four-game hunters scampered into nearby thickets, holing up like warthogs to evade arrest,” DCI added.
The abandoned Toyota Alto vehicle was towed to the police station and Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) officers were informed of the incident.
The giraffe meat was seized and preserved by the officers as an exhibit.
Meanwhile, the police have obtained a report from the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) records pointing to the owner of the vehicle and necessary actions are underway.
