Police are seeking 14 days to detain five officers accused of illegal possession and trafficking of firearms and ammunition.
The fiver officers were arraigned at the Milimani Chief Magistrate’s Court following their arrest on September 26, 2025 in Eldoret and Nairobi during a sting operation by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) Operations Support Unit.
According to reports, the officers were allegedly found with a Remington Rand pistol model No. 1911, serial No. 1364434, nineteen assorted magazines, and ammunition suspected to be linked to cross-border trafficking.
Now the prosecution has opposed their release, arguing that the suspects could interfere with witnesses, tamper with exhibits in official armouries, or frustrate efforts to trace accomplices.
