In a concerning turn of events, reports have surfaced indicating that police officers have been targeting licensed nightclubs and their patrons, engaging in acts of harassment, breaking, and looting across several neighborhoods including Githurai 45, Githurai 44, Roysambu, Mirema, and others.
According to eyewitnesses, officers have been conducting raids where they harass both club owners and customers, disrupting their lawful activities. Incidents of breaking into establishments and looting have been reported, causing distress among residents and business owners alike.
The recent incident involving two policewomen encountering suspected robbers and losing a firearm has heightened tensions in the affected areas. However, residents who spoke to Top News have urged the Kenya National Police Service to uphold the law while searching for the stolen firearms.
“It is unacceptable for the police to resort to harassing and looting from law-abiding citizens,” remarked one resident who preferred to remain anonymous. “We understand the need to recover the stolen firearms, but it should not come at the expense of innocent individuals trying to earn their livelihoods.”
Calls for the police to conduct searches in a manner that respects citizens’ rights and doesn’t disrupt their daily lives have grown louder. The community emphasizes the importance of upholding the law while maintaining the peace and security of the neighborhoods.
As investigations into the stolen firearms continue, residents hope for a swift resolution that prioritizes justice without infringing upon the rights of law-abiding citizens. Top News will continue to monitor developments on this story.
Bryan Munika Liseche, a renowned Businessman and a politician, has condemned the actions of the police. He said that it is the second time his club, Airport Club, has been targeted by police who loot his property. According to the video trending online, police officers are seen breaking into Airport Club, Githurai 44, lobbing tear gas and causing a stampede. A large number of customers were also arrested. Liseche, through his lawyer, also asked why his club is being targeted by the police. The lawyer said that it is the second time the police have targeted his client’s business. He asked Kasarani OCPD Mr. Joseph Nkuuri to explain why his client has been the target, leading to losses. He said that on Saturday alone, they incurred losses amounting to millions from the properties looted and destroyed by police.
