Eight police officers including Gigiri OCPD, OCS interdicted over the escape of murder suspect Collins Jumaisi.
Eight Police officers including Gigiri Officer Commanding Police Division and Gigiri Police Station OCS have been interdicted.
Acting Inspector General of Police Gilbert Masengeli has confirmed the interdiction.
This comes after Collins Jumaisi, a prime suspect in the alleged murder of 42 women in Kware, escaped police custody Tuesday morning.
Jumaisi escaped alongside 12 other Eritrean suspects.
Masengeli said among those interdicted include the Gigiri Sub County Police Commander, OCS Gigiri Police Station, Duty Officer, Duty NCO, Station Guards and Report Office Personnel.
He said they are investigating the incident.
He said the 12 Eritrean nationals were arrested for being illegally in Kenya and were waiting to be repatriated.
He said Jumaisi is connected with the Kware Murder incident.
“Our preliminary investigations indicate that the escape was aided by insiders, considering that officers were deployed accordingly to guard the station.”
“Consequently, I have interdicted eight officers who were on duty last night,” he said.
