Police beat and rob a trader in Vihinga Ksh 100,000 together with his phone while trying to rescue his sister at a police station.
The victim is said to have rushed to Cheptulu Police Station shortly after learning that his sister had been arrested and thus sought to know the charges pressed against her.
However, to his surprise, he was beaten and robbed of his cash worth Ksh 100k
“On just inquiring, I was beaten by those people purporting to be police officers in civilians and driving private vehicles,” he alleged while speaking with the media on Thursday.
The incident saw him incur crucial injuries in his eyes, head, and stomach.

He was then ransked, with the officers clearing his pockets and allegedly stealing Ksh100,000 together with his phone.
The officers were further accused of attacking the man on the pretense of conducting investigations into his sister’s arrest.
Shortly after, he was handed his phone only and released from the station. However, he declined to leave without his money.
“I asked how can I take back my phone without the money,” the victim lamented.
A scuffle ensued between the officers and the victim, with the police questioning the source of the funds.
The victim now wants Interior CS Kithure Kindiki and human rights activists to look into the matter and assist in recovering his money.
