Five officers attached to the Gigiri police station in Nairobi alleged to have aided the escape of 13 remandees have been released on a bond of Ksh.200,000 each.
The officers are linked to Tuesday’s escape of Collins Jumaisi, the man accused of killing women and dumping their bodies in Nairobi’s Kware dumpsite, and other prisoners held at the station.
Magistrate Martha Nanzushi while granting them the bond on Thursday noted that there were no compelling reasons to warrant the 14 days detention sought by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI).
The five; Corporal Ronald Babo and cosntables Evans Kipkirui, Mollent Achieng, Zachary Nyabuto and Gerald Mutuku; will now be required to report twice weekly before the DCI.e DCI.
Police had told the court that investigations against the five officers were not complete adding that the 14 days would allow them to complete the investigations.
The other 12 escapees alongside Jumaisi were held over illegal immigration.
According to a police report, the 13 fled after cutting the wire mesh at the station’s basking bay.
Following the incident, acting Inspector General of Police Gilbert Masengeli promised a thorough investigation into the matter, speculating it could be “an inside job.”
Further, the DCI has released a wanted suspect's notice for Collins, offering a cash reward to members of the public who provide credible information that would lead to his arrest.
