The recovery of a stolen firearm from a female police officer in Kasarani, initially robbed in February 2024, took an unexpected turn when it was found abandoned at the gate of Githurai police post.

Nairobi police boss Adamson Bungei confirmed the Scorpion firearm, which still had 23 bullets, was located near the perimeter wall of the police post, untouched since its theft. Fortunately, the firearm had not been used in any criminal activities.

The weapon, subjected to ballistic analysis, revealed no association with any reported crimes, leaving authorities puzzled about its abandonment and the motives behind it.

Despite the recovery, no arrests have been made in connection with the incident as police continue their investigation.

In a separate incident in Mutuati, Meru County, detectives from the Anti-Narcotics Unit (ANU) of the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) recovered an AK47 rifle and a bale of bhang at the residence of a suspected violent robber and drug trafficker, Geoffrey Thuranira.

Thuranira managed to escape, leaving behind his wife and infant child. The recovered bhang is suspected to have originated from Ethiopia, indicating Thuranira’s involvement in narcotics trafficking.

As police continue their pursuit of suspects like Thuranira, who pose threats to public safety, they face challenges on highways like the Moyale-Nairobi route, where drug trafficking remains prevalent, catering to markets in Nairobi and other urban areas.
