In the early hours of Thursday, robbers broke into Public Service Cabinet Secretary Aisha Jumwa’s Loresho home and escaped with property of unknown value.
According to a police report filed at the Spring Valley Police Station under the OB Number 03/02/2023, the incident occurred on February 16 at 1:45 am when the CS was away on official duties.
According to one of the officers on the CS’s security detail, a gang of three men armed with crude weapons entered the compound by cutting the electric perimeter wall and gained access to the main house through the back door, which was not locked.
The suspects went straight to the master bedroom upstairs, ransacking the room and stealing gold jewellery and two laptops.
They then proceeded to the bedroom where the CS’s two daughters were sleeping and robbed them of Ksh 1.1 million, three mobile phones, and jewellery of unknown value.
During the incident, one of the daughters received minor injuries.
The guards who were on duty were missing and it is believed they could be part of the gang behind the attack on the house.
Nairobi Regional Police Commander Adamson Bungei said they suspect the attackers knew the house well.
“This looks like an incident committed by people who knew what they wanted and knew there were no police officers at the compound.”
“According to preliminary findings, they knew what they wanted. They demanded valuables and cash from the victims,” said Bungei.
The police are investigating the incident, but no suspects have been apprehended.
