The Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) has revealed new details concerning the fatal shooting of two individuals, Kennedy Ojuma and Stephen Mwendwa, by an off-duty DCI officer in Makongeni, Thika, on Sunday. The incident occurred after a minor traffic accident, challenging earlier reports that the victims were merely onlookers.

• The involved officer is attached to the DCI Headquarters Economic and Commercial Crimes Unit.
• The shooting happened at approximately 5:30 am near Makongeni Police Station, in the presence of on-duty police officers, who subsequently disarmed and detained the DCI officer.
• IPOA has obtained crucial documents and recorded statements from nine police officers, seeking 21-day custodial orders for the officer to complete investigations, including ballistics and CCTV footage analysis.

The Nairobi County Government has launched a major crackdown on illegal power connections within the CBD after an unauthorized electricity distribution hub was discovered and dismantled near the National Archives. These illegal setups are believed to be enabling criminal gangs and compromising security infrastructure, including CCTV networks and street lighting.

• Over 300 suspects have been arrested in connection with mugging cases in the CBD.
• The operation is a joint effort by the Nairobi County Government, Kenya Power, and the National Police Service.
• Governor Johnson Sakaja stated that illegal connections not only disrupt the power grid but also make it easier for gangs to operate in the dark, with areas like Moi Avenue and Kenyatta Avenue being particularly affected.

Police have arrested ten suspects in connection with a violent attack on Emakale Police Post in Matungu Sub-County, Kakamega County. The group allegedly stormed the post, raided an officer’s house, and destroyed public documents and personal property.

• Ten suspects were arrested in a joint operation by Matungu Police Station and the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) on Tuesday, September 9, 2025.
• The National Police Service issued a warning against violence targeting officers and facilities, stating that those interfering with officers or damaging government property will face swift action.
• This incident follows a rise in gang-related activity, including a recent confrontation in Butere where police engaged a hostile gang, and reports of criminal gangs exploiting poorly lit areas in Nairobi's Central Business District (CBD).
