Businessman robbed Sh1.5m before abandoned in Thika

NAIROBI, KENYA; Police are looking for a gang that carjacked and robbed a businessman of Sh1.5 million Monday evening along Enterprise Road, Nairobi.

The businessman was abandoned in Thika after being driven around the city while sandwiched between his attackers.

The attackers were armed with guns when they confronted him as he drove along Enterprise Road amid suspicion the victim could have been attacked by people known to him.

The incident comes a day after arrest of four policemen for allegedly robbing a Chinese businessman of Sh2.7 million along Nairobi-Nakuru highway. The four officers based in Nairobi alongside three civilians are in detention as police gather more evidence

The officers—Mr Simon Mwaniki, Mr Kennedy Kobia, Mr Isaiah Kimani and Ms Eunice Wanjiku Mburu—and civilians Maurice Odhiambo, Janet Cheptoo and Ezra Kipngeno denied the charges when they appeared before Limuru senior resident magistrate Karen Njalale on Monday.
