Corrupt Police Officers Battered By GSU Officer To Face Charges

Two male traffic police officers attached to Sioport post in Funyula, Busia County were on Tuesday afternoon Battered by a General Service Unit (GSU) officer, who busted the cops soliciting bribes from a bodaboda operator and his customer.

Residents say the traffic cops, who were dressed in civilian clothes, had placed a roadblock on Port-Bumala road, when they stopped a bodaboda rider and demanded his customer, a fish trader, to give them money.

The GSU officer, a Funyula resident, was walking past the cops, when he stopped to ask them why they were harassing the bike rider and his customer.

One of the traffic police officers, however, slapped the GSU officer, prompting the aggrieved man to retaliate.

The GSU officer beat up the two cops, who fled toward the Sioport post.

Residents say the two police officers have been harassing bodaboda riders in the area, and urged County Police Commander, John Nyoike, to take action against the two.
