The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has obtained court orders to hold six men arrested for allegedly luring commuters into a matatu in Ngara, Nairobi, robbing and then dumping them along the way before speeding off.
The six robbery with violence suspects include Boniface Wachira Wahome, who owns the vehicle – registration number KAQ 654A — which carried the victims before they were allegedly robbed.
Others are Jackson Kimani Thuo, Titus Mburu Njonjo, Dennis Omondi Otieno, George Vincent Otieno and John Waweru.
Njenga was allegedly found with five mobile phones suspected to be among those stolen from the victims of the alleged robberies.
Cpl. Paul Wainaina of the DCI’s Operation Support Unit (OSU) told a Milimani court that he is investigating cases of robbery with violence where the six men are the suspects.
But Wahome said he only owns the motor vehicle and is not involved in its day-to-day activities, and was only arrested after being summoned to Parklands Police Station.
