Sunday, June 29, 2025 - In the ongoing operation to apprehend looters and recover stolen property during the tumultuous demonstrations on June 25th, 2025, law enforcement officers from DCI Mbeere South and Kiritiri Police Station have apprehended Francisca Mwingi and Linda Karimi and recovered a white-water tank with a metal casing, one of the many items pilfered from Kiritiri Market amid the chaos.
Simultaneously, in another operation conducted in the Kikuyu
and Dagoretti areas, detectives intercepted and detained a Nissan matatu,
registration number KAW 702K.
The vehicle is believed to have been used to transport
rioters from Gachui-Mutuini area to Dagoretti Centre, where the suspects stole
firearms and police uniforms, assaulted officers, and set the Police Post
ablaze.
Four suspects: Sammy Ndungu Kariuki, also known as Ndoji,
who is the mobilizer of the goons; Lawrence Kariuki Ndungu, who was captured on
CCTV footage where a stolen police firearm was seen; Ali Shama Tabet, alias
Alibaba; and Simon Njoroge Hiuhu, who were found in possession of suspected
stolen goods looted from various shops during the day of the demonstration,
were arrested.
Meanwhile, in Maai Mahiu, Naivasha Sub-County, seven
individuals were taken into custody: Raphael Njagi, Kelvin Kahuha, David
Kinyanjui, Susan Njeri Karanja, Grace Mugure, Johanna Gichigo, and Joseph
Nganga Njambi.
Investigators recovered a variety of stolen goods, including
two curtains, three pillows with pillowcases, one curtain rod, and two big
sufurias stolen from Transit Hotel.
As these suspects undergo processing, awaiting their day in court, facing charges ranging from malicious property damage to theft and arson, investigators are ramping up their efforts to apprehend more looters and recover additional stolen items.
