DCI detectives arrest a KDF soldier and a police officer in Mtito Andei, dismantling a violent extortion ring that terrorized local businesses using fake plates and guns.

A sophisticated extortion ring terrorizing businesses along the Nairobi-Mombasa highway has been dismantled, exposing a shocking rot within the security services as a KDF soldier and a police officer were handcuffed as ringleaders.
Detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) pounced on the gang in Mtito Andei, ending a reign of terror that had left investors and traders living in fear. The operation, executed with surgical precision, revealed that the very people paid to protect the public were the ones predating on them. The suspects, using the cover of their uniforms and fake number plates, had turned extortion into a full-time enterprise, demanding protection money at gunpoint.
The suspects—identified as Mustafa Majeza Juma (KDF) and his police accomplice—were not operating in the shadows; they were brazen. They utilized a vehicle with doctored plates to raid business premises, flashing handcuffs and firearms to intimidate victims into submission. Their arrest follows weeks of intelligence gathering after numerous complaints from the local business community.
"They moved with impunity," a DCI source revealed. "They believed their badges gave them immunity. They were wrong." The recovery of the vehicle and the tools of their trade provides irrefutable evidence of a planned, organized criminal syndicate operating from within the disciplined forces.
The suspects are now in custody, facing charges of robbery with violence and extortion. The DCI has vowed to hunt down any remaining accomplices, sending a stern warning to rogue officers: the uniform is a shield for the people, not a license to steal.
As the investigation deepens, the focus shifts to the courts. The public will be watching to see if the justice system can hold its own enforcers accountable for turning into the very criminals they swore to fight.
