On his way, Mburu was accosted by two individuals on a boda boda who managed to steal his loaded Ceska pistol with 15 rounds of ammunition, a wallet containing his police appointment certificate, bank cards, and his phone. After reporting the incident to a nearby station, officers from Mihang’o and the DCI Kayole unit visited the scene, the drinking joints, and Mburu’s parents’ residence.
The officer’s wife confirmed that he left home armed earlier that day. However, when questioned, Mburu, who was visibly intoxicated, could not accurately describe where the incident took place. The officer, who had noticeable bruises and torn clothing, was placed in custody to assist with the investigation as authorities continue their efforts to retrieve the stolen firearm.
