KISUMU AP BOSS IN TROUBLE OVER GUN DRAMA AT A NOTORIOUS NIGHT CLUB

BY OUR CORRESPONDENT 
A senior Administration Police officer in Kisumu is under investigation following an ugly incident in which he stormed a local club drunk before shooting a customer in a gun drama.

Reports by the victim and other eye witnesses indicate that the gun wielding officer who was in company of three women brandished his pistol threatening to shoot in the club but was subdued and disarmed.

It's in this process that one of the revellers was shot in the leg and later rushed to Jaramogi Oginga Odinga referral hospital where he was treated and discharged.
 
 

Trouble started when one of the women in the officer's company hurled unprintable abuses at a group of other revellers while inside elevator leading to the club's floor prompting an immediate heated argument.

It was at this point that the officer withdrew his gun and threatened to shoot at the group on the ground that his women were offended but the panicking revellers managed to disarm him.

However, he was later handed back the gun upon pleading and identifying himself as a cop but surprisingly engaged the group in a fresh war,this time round literally chasing them with his gun on target.

Irate customers wrestled the evidently drunk officer in an attempt to snatch away the gun from him and in the process one person got shot in the leg as others scampered for safety.

A contingent of Administration Police officers drawn from the dreaded Quick Response Unit who were on patrol later traced the injured man to the hospital before bundling him into the police Land-cruiser, as he waited on the line to be treated, to the surprise of nurses and other patients.

The team which was taking orders from the officer identified as inspector Mike later drove the injured man in a pool of blood to another house in the sprawling Manyatta Estate where they fished out another man from his house and beat him senselessly.

''I was sleeping when at around 3 am a group of police men armed with rungus broke into my house before they started clobbering me on accusations that i was part of the group at the club'', said the man who is still reeling in pain.

It's reported that the man was forced to swim in sewage water while being clobbered as Inspector Mike and his women watched from his probox car.

One of the revellers reported the gun drama at Kisumu Central Police Station under OB no. 03/12/15.

Nyanza province regional coordinator Francis Mutei vowed to take stern action against the officer for misconduct.

''That was very dangerous and it was just by the Grace of God otherwise it could have been another story by now,many lives could have been lost'', lamented Mutei.

Mutei who is the regional security committee chairman said it was sad that his juniors were trying to hide the incident from him only to get the story from his civilian intelligence.

A police officer at Central Police station who declined to be named given that he's not authorized to speak to the press, said the AP was later arrested,locked at the station and released the following morning.

GOVERNOR AKARANGA ACCUSED OF FUELING VIHIGA-KISUMU BOUNDARY ANIMOSITY



BY OMAR AKELLO
An artificial conflict between the Luhyia and Luo communities is being brewed by the detractors of CORD regarding the so-called Maseno boundary.

Speaking to press a section of Kisumu residents led by Willis Osir cautioned all CORD supporters in Vihiga and Kisumu counties not to be trapped by detractors, led by Governor Akaranga, into an unnecessary conflict in Maseno.

They claimed Amani National Congress is crying for attention in Luhyialand by creating conflict between the Luhyia and their neighbors.

Osir noted that drawing Prime Minister Raila Odinga's name into the issue demonstrates the ill motives of the promoters of this evil agenda.

‘’They want division in the CORD family so that they can harvest the spoils’’ he added.

The residents appealed two communities around Maseno to continue living in peace and to dismiss Akaranga's mischievous intentions with the contempt they deserve.

Some leaders have suggested a wall be built at Maseno to solve the border dispute between Kisumu and Vihiga counties.

The proposal was made during a meeting between elders and sub county peace committee members at Ojola, Kisumu North Sub County.

Kisumu residents said the wall, similar to the 1,000km one being put up on the Kenya-Somalia border, will stop destruction of property by their neighbours from Vihiga County.

According to Osir, the colonial demarcation should not be viewed to mean that one cannot purchase land outside his community adding that everyone has a constitutional right to live in any part of the country.

BY OMARI AKELLO

Independent investigations have revealed that already criminals in Kisumu are on celebratory mode saying that the exit of Wanyama is a signal of business as usuall to them.

The matter is currently at the table of ranking government officials and relevantly being monitored by the deputy Inspector of the police Grace Kaindi and a host of politicians including Nairobi Senator Mike Sonko, a man so close to the Kenyan President Uhuru Kerntyatta.



Back in Kisumu, business fraternity led by one prominent business mogul Edward Onyango aka Bob lamented the rumoured transfer of Wanyama saying he was the only cop with the required capacity to deal to the boot with runaway insecurity in the region.

However security experts are reading mischief in Wanyama’s transfer questioning the move at a time they expected him to lead security operations in the region.

Just hours before the transfer Kisumu residents remained a happy lot after the dreaded cop recovered a dangerous weapon and managed to arrest over 100 suspected criminals at Obunga Estate in Kisumu.

The home made gun resembling AK-47 was recovered during a day time serious operation that also saw over 1,000 liters of illicit brew and more than 100n rolls of bhang netted.

Tension is high in Kisumu as locals are planning to petition President Uhuru Kenyatta to revoke the transfer of the ‘friendly but fierce cop’ Wanyama and they have vowed to proceed on the street should the sad news turn to be true./
