Following a disagreement over a woman early on Wednesday morning, a senior police officer stationed in Teso, Busia County, stirred controversy in Busia town when he fired twice in the air.
Around 11 o’clock earlier, the officer had entered Didis pub with a stunning woman only known as Daisy to unwind following a long day of work.
Daisy periodically chuckled at the two’s secret conversations while resting on the cop’s shoulder, leaving him beaming with delight as they sipped the fizzy beverages while speaking in hushed tones.
However, at about 2:30 in the morning, the woman noticed a man she recognized seated at a nearby table and went over to talk to him.
The senior cop seemed to take offense to this because he only paid for his swallows before storming out, leaving the woman on her own with a bill to pay.
The commander ignored the woman’s attempts to pursue him and inform him that things were not as they seemed as the officer sprang into his car and sped off toward Amerkwai, taking the woman’s handbag with him.
“The woman accompanied by the bar manager went after the cop using a motorbike demanding for her handbag and blocked his vehicle at Amerkwai, along the Busia-Malabaroad. Immediately, the officer whipped out his firearm a Jericho pistol loaded with 15 rounds of 9mm calibre and fired two rounds in the air, sending the duo scampering for dear life and attracting the attention of police officers from Adungosi police station who rushed to the scene,” said DCI.
“The officer’s firearm was however confiscated and an Inquiry File No. 3/2022 opened at Adungosi Police station to conclusively investigate the matter,” DCI added.
