The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has called on the public to provide information that could lead to the arrest of individuals caught on surveillance footage looting businesses in the Nairobi Central Business District (CBD) during recent anti-Finance Bill protests.
The DCI has released several images of suspects identified from extensive reviews of CCTV footage, urging citizens to help bring these perpetrators to justice.
In a statement issued on Monday, July 1, the DCI revealed that its Imaging and Acoustic Unit, part of the National Forensic Laboratory, had analyzed multiple CCTV recordings that captured various individuals engaging in criminal activities amidst the protests.
The agency emphasized that while the protests were largely peaceful, a minority exploited the situation to carry out unlawful acts, such as breaking into and looting businesses.
Whereas some suspects have already been apprehended and arraigned in court, many others are still at large, waiting for opportunities to strike again. We can flush them from among our numbers because they do not share the principles that define what we stand for, and more so for the sake of those who did not deserve to lose their only means of livelihood in this manner.”
