DCI recovers motorcycle allegedly used to ferry gunman in lawyer Mbobu murder
According to the DCI, Naula told detectives during interrogation that he was riding the motorcycle when he allegedly transported the suspected gunman.
Nairobi, Kenya – Detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) have recovered a motorcycle that is believed to have been used to transport the suspected gunman to the scene of lawyer Mathew Kyalo Mbobu's murder on September 9, 2025. According to the DCI, the motorcycle was traced after the arrest of Nicholas Lemiso Naula, a boda boda rider who allegedly transported the gunman on the day of the shooting.
Naula reportedly admitted during questioning that he was riding the motorcycle when he allegedly carried the suspected gunman to the shooting location. Following this confession, detectives traced the motorcycle through its various owners and successfully recovered it. The recovered motorcycle was then brought to the Homicide Offices for further examination.
The DCI emphasized that Naula positively identified the recovered motorcycle as the one he allegedly used to ferry the suspected gunman during the attack. This latest recovery contributes to the evidence that the detectives are compiling as they strive to reconstruct the events leading up to Mbobu's killing.
The DCI had already arrested three suspects, including the accused gunman and two boda boda riders, as part of their investigation. They have also managed to recover motorcycles that were allegedly used to transport the suspected gunman and trail Mbobu before the shooting. The detectives are currently scrutinizing the recovered motorcycle as they seek to determine its movements and establish its alleged role in the murder.
The ongoing investigation is focused on unraveling the circumstances surrounding the killing and identifying all those involved in the alleged crime. Mbobu was shot dead in Nairobi on September 9, 2025, and the DCI has been actively piecing together the sequence of events since the incident. The recovery of the motorcycle is a significant development as the investigators continue to pursue additional suspects and gather evidence.
The allegations against the suspects remain under investigation and will be subject to the judicial process.
