Three robbery suspects who have been under police surveillance since 2023 have been taken into custody by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI).
Julius Osoro Nyagoi, 39, was apprehended on Wednesday in Nairobi's Kilimani neighborhood as a result of a successful and coordinated joint operation, a testament to the effective collaboration between law enforcement agencies, according to a statement from DCI.
After being questioned, Nyagoi showed the officers where his accomplices lived—at his homestead, Green Park Estate, in Athi River, Machakos County.
"In his house no. 641, two of his accomplices; John Michael Muturi, 38 and Charity Njeri Kimani aged 34 were also arrested before a thorough search was conducted and several exhibits recovered," said DCI.
