How DCI officer staged crime to steal 1.2 million from Nakuru businessman

An officer of the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) in Nakuru is on the spot for reportedly forging a crime against one of the affluent businessmen in the county, in a plot to steal his property.

The officer is said to have on January 30, 2019 broke into AA Mini Shop belonging to Robow Hussein Holo, 25, at Garissa shopping Centre and without any reason arrested him and carted away his property worth 1.2 million.

Mr Holo was only informed that he was taken in for stealing once they had arrived at the police cell and brutally beaten him up.

Holo says he was further forced to sign an inventory of the total good taken from his shop and to his surprise the officer did not list the Sh500,000 and had only half of the property carted away listed in the inventory.

“I received a thorough beating from the officer who further forced me to sign an inventory of goods he took from my shop, to my utter surprise he did not list the Sh500,000 cash he took,” said Holo.

Among the items in the inventory dated January 30, 2019 done at 5PM include 57 suits, children’s clothing, shirts, T-Shirts, 100 pairs of shoes, 57 pairs of khaki trousers among others. The whereabouts of half of the goods he mentioned is yet to be known as the officer continues to hold the other.

He adds that the officer is holding his identity card and keys to his business premise.

Immediately after confiscating the goods, the officer allegedly procured the services of a quack complainant and instructed him to report the matter. The complainant in the case allegedly reported that he had his goods stolen and had been threatened by an officer using his gun inside court premise.

It is also established that the same officer has also been sending threatening text messages to Mr Ibrahim Nurow, a close friend to Holo. The officer in the text messages warns Nurow for engaging himself in business with Holo.

Text messages sent to Nurow shows that he stands to be eliminated from the face of the earth. Nurow claims he has been operating in fear since last year as the officer demanded money to have him alive.

The two, through their lawyers sent out letters to the DCI and the EACC regarding the mater.

They however coplain of lack of action from the offices and said they had decided to move to court if they do not get a response within 48 hours and institute a suit against the officer and his bosses.
