The Directorate of Criminal Investigations(DCI) has released photos of wanted suspects believed to have orchestrated unlawful activities during the anti-government protests currently in the third week.
In a statement issued on X, the DCI released photos of the wanted individuals, who have been directed to report to the nearest police station for further police action.
“The Individuals whose images/photos appear below are wanted by the police for their unlawful activities during the anti-finance bill demonstrations. We therefore advise them to report to the nearest police station for further police action,” the DCI stated.
The public has also been urged to volunteer information on the whereabouts of the individuals and have been asked to anonymously channel the details to the hotline number 0800722203 or call 999,911 or 112.
This comes after the DCI had issued a stern warning to individuals who had planned to use the nationwide anti-government demonstrations as a way to carry out their heinous activities.
Peaceful protests which were happening all over the country were later turned into violence by goons. The individuals infiltrated the Nairobi CBD and various parts of the country in an attempt to vandalise and steal from various businesses.
The Gen Z`s who initially spearheaded these protests made a mark of peace with both the police and businesses, however, goons changed this narrative through looting of various shops and throwing stones at police.
Some of the protestors noted a change in the atmosphere stating that unlike previous protests the most recent were infiltrated by delinquents who stole people’s phones and destroyed businesses.
