The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has identified seven Nairobi estates as hotspots for the radicalisation of teenagers into criminal gangs following the gang-related killing of a 15-year-old. Fourteen teenagers, aged between 12 and 19, have been arrested in connection with the murder.

• Among the flagged estates are Umoja I, II, and III, Tena, Innercore, Kariobangi, and Kayole.
• The arrested suspects formed rival groups with names like Chinje, Mbogi, Bad Bunny, and Silent.
• The incident follows the death of Joshua Kubiti and has led to communities, like one in Embakasi West, implementing a 6:00 PM curfew for children.

The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has arrested a senior accountant of the Siaya County Government for allegedly embezzling close to Ksh100 million through fraudulent allowances. Investigations revealed the accountant processed payments for non-existent training and engagements.

• The suspect is currently detained at Kisumu Port Police Station and will be arraigned before the Kisumu Anti-Corruption Court.
• This arrest is part of a wider probe into the alleged embezzlement of approximately Ksh400 million by several Siaya County officials.

Kenyan detectives have arrested three suspects believed to be part of a gang responsible for a series of violent robberies in Nyamira and Kisii Counties, including a shocking attack on a 96-year-old grandmother.

• The devout Catholic grandmother had offered a prayer for the armed gang before they ransacked her home, stole valuables, and consumed her medication milk.
• Detectives from the Crime Research and Intelligence Bureau (CRIB), alongside officers from Kenyanya and Nyamira, tracked the suspects for weeks.
• The arrests led to the recovery of stolen electronics and a motorcycle used by the gang, bringing relief to residents who faced fear of violent robberies, sexual assaults, and defilement.

The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has dismantled a syndicate of fake anti-corruption officers in South Nyanza region, arresting seven individuals involved in an extortion scheme.

• Seven individuals were arrested for posing as EACC officers to extort money.
• The EACC recovered forged materials including job cards, letterheads, and rubber stamps.
• One suspect was previously convicted for impersonation, and similar cases of government official impersonation have been reported in Kenya, including a student from Kibabii University and a police officer in Kitui County.
