DCI Detectives from Kisumu are investigating a case where their fellow officers are accused of beating up and robbing two businesswomen of KES 100,000 at Cheptulu Police Station in Vihiga.
The errant officers are said to have arrested a prominent businesswoman at Cheptulu Market Centre.
A source who spoke on condition of anonymity further said that upon receiving this information a sister to the businesswoman followed her to the station. It is not yet clear what transpired in the station that culminated in the sister being beaten up by the officers and robbed of KES 100,000 which she allegedly had in her pockets.
“They arrested my sister and I went to the police station to find out what happened to my sister. They beat me instead of telling me what happened, I did nothing wrong. They took KES 100,000 from me before they released me,” said one of the victims of the beating who went ahead to press charges at the Kisumu regional office.
