Wednesday, November 12, 2025 - In the early hours of Monday morning, a gang of four men dressed in clothing resembling police jungle uniforms staged a daring robbery at the Stabex Petrol Station in Ziwa, Uasin Gishu County.
According to reports, the robbers tied up staff members and
made away with an undisclosed amount of money and several mobile phones.
A boda boda rider, who was the first to report
the incident, told police he arrived at the station to refuel and found two
pump attendants locked inside their office, shouting for help.
He immediately alerted officers at Ziwa Police Station,
prompting a swift response.
Police led by OCS Chief Inspector Nabwire rushed
to the scene and found the night guard, Kelvin Kipkirui, tied up and
hidden under a parked lorry.
His hands and right leg had been bound using a yellow manila
rope, and he complained of chest injuries after one of the robbers allegedly
stepped on him during the ordeal.
Two fuel attendants, Kelvin Kipkemei and Kelvin
Kemboi, were also found tied up and locked inside the station office.
They reported that four armed men had arrived at the
station, ordered them to lie down, and threatened them against raising any
alarm before breaking into the safe room.
The gang reportedly stole an unknown amount of cash and three
mobile phones, including a Samsung A16 valued at KSh36,000 and
a Neon handset used for M-Pesa transactions.
Police said the robbers had disabled both the alarm
system and CCTV cameras, indicating that they were likely familiar with the
station’s layout and operations.
The scene was processed, and investigations are underway.
No arrests have been made so far.
