OpenLife Nigeria has gathered that
suspected criminals in Kenya have resorted to witchcraft and other unorthodox methods to evade arrest and detention by hawk-eyed detectives, as Directorate of Criminal Investigation DCI, intensifies its onslaught against criminals and criminal gangs in the country.
Last Tuesday, detectives based at the elite Crime Research & Intelligence Bureau (CRIB) supported by their Special Services Unit (SSU) counterparts, pounced on a suspect who took off with huge sum of money in millions from her employer three weeks ago.
The suspect identified as Miriam Mwelu, who was accompanied by her partner Timothy Akoi, were found at a renowned witch doctor’s house in Gachie, Kiambu county, where Mwelu had gone to seek ‘protection’ from our men.
The detectives arrived in time as the suspect was being immersed in a basin containing a concoction of blood drawn from a dead fowl, whose features resembled those of a cockerel.
Upon noticing the detectives, the elderly witch doctor pronounced endless incantations in an attempt to keep them at bay, but that did not deter the sleuths from executing their mission much to the bemusement of Mwelu, who had closed her eyes expecting the sleuths to vanish.
