Cops Arrested After Drinking Chang’aa With Jailed Suspects
Two colleagues and two murder suspects have been taken into custody by Kisii police on suspicion of hosting a party at Rioma Police Station. On Thursday, January 25, the two cops were reportedly on duty at the police station.
The party started at the reports and inquiries office, when the two allegedly brought out an unidentified quantity of booze after bidding their colleagues farewell. They later gave some of the leftover alcohol—possibly Chang’aa, a native brew—to the suspects who had overindulged to the point of unconsciousness.
The party later became rowdy in an OB in possession as they danced and chanted, drawing the attention of other officers who intervened quickly to control the situation. Police accused their colleague of being careless and endangering their safety by having a party with murder suspects.
“An additional duty officer discovered the detainees intoxicated and unable to defend themselves when he went to check on them in their cells. The police OB read to the detainees, “The two officers were equally drunk,” and imprisoned them. The two were only held while their legal cases were being decided, though.
By providing a description of how the officers delivered his cellmates the beverages, a suspect who refrained from taking part in the festivities assisted the officers in their investigation of the incident. When the station’s OCS arrived on the scene, they searched and found quarter- and two-liter empty bottles containing remnants of the rumored local brew concealed in a cell toilet’s cistern.
The OB states that “alcohol level tests were done and all found positive,” after the inebriated cops and two inmates were taken to the Kisii Police Station. As the incident’s investigations proceeded, the OCS took disciplinary action against the two officers based on the test results. The OB withheld information regarding the four suspects’ Friday court arraignment.
