Detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) have arrested a man believed to be the leader of a gang linked to a spate of robberies in Nairobi.
Luis Otieno, also known as Lui Borura Nyaoiri, was arrested following a series of house break-ins and burglaries reported within Kayole Sub-County.
According to the DCI, the incidents had left victims in despair, having lost valuables worth thousands of shillings.
“A notorious thug suspected to be the ring leader of a notorious gang that has been terrorizing city residents has been arrested by sleuths based at DCI Nairobi regional command,” DCI said in a statement seen by K24 Digital.
DCI said the suspect, who has a pending case in court, was apprehended while driving a Mazda Demio registration number KDM 790K that had earlier on been fitted with a different number KDD 790K
This discovery led the officers to further investigate Otieno’s involvement in criminal activities.
Subsequently, a search was conducted at Otieno’s residence, which resulted in the recovery of a cache of stolen items.
Among the items found were assorted wristwatches, an antique gun frame wall hanging, mobile phones, tablets, flash disks, earpods, earphones, and nine rolls of a substance suspected to be psychotropic in nature.
The DCI has vowed to continue its operation to apprehend Otieno’s accomplices and bring them to book. BY K24 NEWS
