The operation kicked off when Buruburu detectives, acting on actionable intelligence, arrested Michael Osman Okanda in Chokaa for his involvement in robbery. But the arrest was merely the opening act. As detectives pressed on with their interrogation, Okanda led them to the residence of his partner in crime, Brian Mbugua Ndungu, alias Mwarabu, in Baraka, Mowlem, hoping to bring the second suspect into the dragnet. Mwarabu, however, was nowhere to be seen. But while the suspect had seemingly slipped through the net, he had left behind something far more incriminating. A meticulous search of the house led detectives to a jacket hanging in a wardrobe. Hidden inside was a Canik pistol, fitted with a magazine containing 11 rounds of ammunition. Assorted documents bearing Mwarabu’s details were also recovered. With the firearm safely secured, Crime Scene Investigation (CSI) detectives moved in to process and document the scene, as detectives shifted their focus to trace the elusive accomplice. The manhunt soon gathered momentum when detectives established that Mwarabu worked as a boda boda rider within Nairobi’s Central Business District, plying the CBD–Dagoretti route. Further intelligence indicated that he routinely returned to his rented house in the morning hours. Detectives would not leave that to chance. They laid an ambush and waited for their man to walk straight into their trap. Their patience paid off, when Mwarabu rode into the waiting officers’ dragnet aboard a red Boxer motorcycle, registration number KMHA 890H, and was promptly arrested. The motorcycle, suspected to have been used in the commission of crime, was also detained as an exhibit. Both suspects are now in custody, undergoing processing pending arraignment. Meanwhile, detectives are retracing their movements and activities to establish whether the duo could be linked to other armed robberies and criminal incidents across the capital. #FichuaKwaDCI.
