Friday, March 24, 2023 –The Directorate of Criminal Investigations DCI has given Azimio protestors only hours to surrender to the nearest police station over the last Monday chaotic demos.
The DCI today Friday March 24 released a number of images of suspects alleged to have been behind the chaos and violence witnessed on Monday during the anti-government protests led by the Azimio opposition of Raila Odinga, Kalonzo Musyoka and Martha Karua.
Through its social media pages, the DCI unmasked the individuals believed to have messed up the city during the protests.
It described the accused as criminals who took advantage of the protests to destroy property and attack innocent members of the public and police officers who were on duty to maintain law and order.
The DCI indicated that during the Monday protests led by Azimio boss Raila Odinga, property of unknown value was destroyed while a total of 33 officers suffered injuries.
“The criminals who took advantage of the demonstrations were captured on camera destroying public property, attacking innocent members of the public and hurling projectiles at police officers who were on duty protecting life and property.
“As a result, property of unknown value was destroyed while a total of 33 officers suffered injuries of various degrees and some are still recuperating at various hospitals in the city,” said the DCI.
An AK47 rifle loaded with 15 rounds of ammunition is also reported to have been stolen during the mayhem.
“A firearm whose magazine was loaded with 15 rounds of 9mm calibre was also lost by one of our officers,” added the DCI.
And now the persons captured in the images are set to face, among other charges, robbery with violence, assault and malicious damage to public property.
Consequently, the individuals captured in the shared images are required to surrender themselves to the DCI headquarters or nearest police stations.
Meanwhile, members of the public are urged to volunteer information that may lead to the arrest of the suspects.
But even as the police goes after them, a section of Azimio-allied leaders have challenged the police to also go after the rogue men in uniform who killed and injured innocent lives on Monday.
