A bodyguard of Bomet senator Christopher Lang’at is in trouble for losing a gun during a robbery in Nairobi.
Mr Peter Sigey is said to have lost his gun following a robbery incident that took place at Pipeline-Ransami area, in Embakasi on Monday evening.
He was arrested after reporting about the robbery at Embakasi police station, but only said that he had lost Sh10,000. He made no mention of losing his firearm.
He was summoned after his superiors got wind that he had also lost his Ceska firearm of serial number B021194 which had 12 rounds of ammunition.
“He did not mention of loss of firearm until he was summoned by his seniors at the camp when they got wind that the officer had lost a firearm,” read a report filed at the Lang’ata police station.
Investigations into the matter is ongoing.
Elsewhere, police are investigating a bizarre case where a KDF opened fire on his family killing three before committing suicide.
