Police in Kondele, Kisumu County are detaining two suspects for attempting to issue Ksh.179,000 bribe to detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) so as to cover up for a car theft suspect.
Eugene Kiprop Kipchirchir, 38, and Hillary Kiplangat Kibet, 40 are said to have offered the aforementioned amount to Kondele DCI officers so as to protect one Rashid Oyondi Nyanuba.
“The long arm of the law caught two individuals red-handed as they tried to butter up DCI officers with a hefty bribe of Sh179,000 to turn a blind eye to a notorious car theft suspect,” read a statement by the DCI on Saturday.
“These audacious culprits spun a web of lies, claiming to possess crucial information about a well-known fugitive involved in car theft.”
Following their arrest and interrogation, the duo led the sleuths to a restaurant within the city where the car theft suspect was eventually cornered.
“During the subsequent interrogation, the schemers spilt the beans, leading the officers to swoop down on a parking lot at Dondez restaurant and nab the main suspect, Rashid Oyondi Nyanuba, who was hiding inside an Isuzu double cab with the license plate KAW 092Y,” stated the DCI.
The suspects are currently being held at the Kondele Police Station awaiting arraignment.
