The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has refuted claims of a robbery along Nairobi's Expressway after a video surfaced on social media. The video purportedly showed a group surrounding a vehicle, leading to speculation of a robbery incident. Detectives from the Kilimani office identified and questioned the individuals shown in the footage, including Karauri, who confirmed his presence in the white vehicle.
The DCI's preliminary investigation suggests the incident was not a robbery, but rather a situation where the vehicle's door malfunctioned, causing distress to the driver. The person in the video who appeared to be the victim, Karauri, clarified that the individuals in the video were in fact helping him rather than committing a robbery.
The DCI is continuing its investigation to establish the full circumstances surrounding the incident and the distribution of the video on social media. The agency urges the public to avoid sharing unverified information and to report any useful information to the nearest police station or through their designated channels.
