River Yala: Indian IT experts working for Dr Ruto feared to have been thrown in River of death
The elite killer squad of the Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DCI) was Saturday disbanded following revelations in an ongoing probe into the missing of two Indians and their driver.
The DCI’s Special Service Unit (SSU) was disbanded with immediate effect following a directive from the acting Inspector General of police Noor Gabow.
“All officers serving in the disbanded unit have been recalled to DCI Headquarters for further instructions,” said a statement from the DCI.
Police probe has linked the squad to the disappearance of then three men in July 2022.
Some officers from the unit have so far been questioned over the incident. They deny the claims.
The squad is one of those under DCI and has been credited for solving a number of complicated crimes including robbery, murder, fraud and abduction.
Police are holding two men in connection to the missing of two Indian bloggers and their driver since July 23.
Mohamed Zaid Sami Kidwai, Zulfiqar Ahmed Khan and their driver Nicodemus Mwania Mwange were abducted near Ole Sereni and driven away in an unmarked car.
Their car was blocked and armed men picked them up before vanishing.
Their car was found at the scene. Police investigating the case arrested and produced Edward Kamau and Fabian Mjomba Koshn in court.
They were granted 21 days to detain them as they investigate the matter.
The two were arrested on suspicion a car they co-own was used as a getaway vehicle to take away the three.
They had a car hire business in South B.
To date, the papers say the whereabouts of the victims are not known but efforts to trace them are in progress.
The investigators say the investigation is complex and requires more time and collaboration with other government agencies including India where Sami and Khan hail from.
The court granted the police 21 days on October 7 to hold the two as investigations go on.
For now, police are investigating a crime of abduction and conspiracy to commit a felony.
Preliminary findings show the men may have been picked up and driven to Eldoret for an unknown mission.
