Detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) arrested fifteen suspected gang members and recovered crude weapons in Kisumu County, according to a statement. The operation was prompted by intelligence about armed suspects traveling on the Kisumu–Kericho highway. DCI Operations Support Unit, in collaboration with Crime Research and Intelligence Bureau, Nyanza Region, and DCI Kisumu Central, intercepted three vehicles.
Suspects were apprehended in a grey Toyota Noah, two white Toyota Hiace vans, and a mobile phone, machetes, knives, ropes, and a metal rod/club were seized. One suspect, Oliver Jaoko, escaped by jumping out of a vehicle. The 15 suspects, along with recovered items, are in custody awaiting arraignment. DCI is pursuing the case and has launched a manhunt for the escaped leader.
This operation demonstrates the National Police Service's commitment to disrupting criminal networks and protecting the public.
