The police apprehended the individuals suspected of being the thugs disrupting Generation Z protests, and discovered they were in possession of various stolen items, including thousands of dollars in cash.
The police in Kakamega were able to locate and apprehend the suspects after receiving a tip from members of the general public.
Despite the fact that they have already captured four criminals, the police are still searching for additional individuals who were exploiting the demonstrations as a means to commit crimes.
The investigators investigating the case discovered that the four individuals were in possession of various narcotics, including gas cylinders, jail warden outfits, and rolls of bhang.
At this time, the Kakamega police station has extended an invitation to members of the general public to come and retrieve their stolen belongings.
“We have arrested four suspects and placed them in police custody, awaiting their arraignment.”
The Kakamega police station’s police commander made the following statement: “I would like to extend my congratulations to members of the public because, without your assistance in providing us with details, we would not have been able to bring down these individuals.”
Even as the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) conducts its investigations into six non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that are believed to be employing thugs and deploying them in order to interfere with protests, news is coming in.
The directorate is investigating six politicians, including three from Nairobi, two from Central Kenya, one from the Rift Valley, and a businessman.
It is thought that the accused were responsible for organising young people from a variety of slums, supplying them with monetary handouts, and instructing them to start violent protests during the demonstrations.
The hired goons had the mission of infiltrating the peaceful demonstrations and transforming them into violent and disruptive events.
Additionally, they may be providing various forms of support, including transportation to and from the protests.
Early on July 2, the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) released photographs of individuals wanted for their involvement in illegal activities during the demonstrations.
