The recent incident at Gigiri Police Station has garnered significant attention as it has been declared a crime scene in the ongoing investigation into the escape of Collins Jumaisi, a suspect in the Kware serial murder case, along with 12 other detainees.
This has raised serious concerns about the security and operational protocols at the station.
In response, top police officials, including the acting Inspector General of Police, Noor Gabow Masengeli, and the Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI), Mohamed Amin, have visited the station to assess the situation firsthand. Their visit is part of efforts to understand the circumstances that led to this major security breach.
The escape has triggered a wider probe into possible lapses or internal collusion that might have facilitated the breakout. The incident highlights critical issues within the police force regarding the management and supervision of detainees, particularly those involved in serious crimes. The investigation will likely focus on identifying those responsible for the lapse and implementing measures to prevent future occurrences.
