Police in Kirinyaga County are searching for one of their officers, who has been missing for 14 days now.
Administration Police Officer, James Maina Ng’ang’a, based at Kianyaga Police station, went missing on Tuesday, March 31, 2020, after completing his official duties at the Thiba dam site.
A circular directed to Police bosses in Nairobi, County Commander indicates that the 33-year-old police constable is armed with a scorpion rifle (S/NO. B368271) loaded with a magazine of 30 rounds of ammunition.
If traced, police have been instructed to arrest him for appropriate action.
“All Stapols keep sharp look and if traced, kindly arrest him and inform this end for necessary action, ” the circular dated Thursday, April 9 reads.
Reports by Kenya News Agency indicate that constable Ng’ang’a called his wife at Thika town on March 30 and allegedly informed her that the world would come to an end on April 1.
Apparently that was the last communication the couple had before the officer went missing, attempts to reach him proved futile as his phone was switched off.
