Saturday, May 16,
2026 - Police in Siaya County have launched investigations into a dramatic
robbery and suspected abduction incident involving a couple who had just
withdrawn money from a bank in Siaya Town.
According to an OB report, the incident occurred on Thursday
at around 1:30 p.m. after Judith Ogola and Bernard Otieno withdrew Sh400,000
from Equity Bank in Siaya Town.
The couple was travelling home on a motorbike and briefly
stopped at Karuwa Primary School to pick up their son when they were ambushed
by unknown criminals.
Reports indicate that a motorcycle that had allegedly been
trailing them also stopped at the scene.
The suspects confronted the couple and forcibly grabbed a
handbag containing the cash, a Samsung A07 mobile phone and an ATM card before
fleeing towards the Akala route.
In a bizarre twist, moments after the robbery, a silver
saloon car with unidentified registration plates reportedly arrived at the
scene.
Two occupants emerged from the vehicle, handcuffed Bernard
Otieno Onyango and bundled him into the car before speeding off towards Wagai
under unclear circumstances.
The shocking incident has left residents puzzled, with
police now investigating both the robbery and the abduction.
Authorities are yet to establish the identity of the suspects.
