In a stunning turn of events, the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has taken decisive action by apprehending two Police Constables, PC Raphael Nzioka and Nancy Kerubu, both stationed at the Eastleigh North Police Station. The officers have been arrested on allegations of demanding a substantial Ksh.100,000 bribe from a local resident businessman.

This dramatic incident unfolded on Thursday when PC Raphael Nzioka and Nancy Kerubu, the accused constables, reportedly descended upon a bustling mobile shop located in Nairobi’s lively neighborhood. In an act seemingly devoid of justification, they proceeded to confiscate an assortment of cellular devices valued at a staggering Ksh.300,000.

According to an EACC source, the officers subsequently made an audacious demand for a Ksh.100,000 bribe from the distressed businessman as a prerequisite for the return of the seized mobile phones. Faced with this extortion, the trader promptly sought assistance from the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission.

This unfolding story serves as a stark reminder of the pressing need for rigorous anti-corruption measures within the law enforcement agencies. The EACC’s swift response and arrest of these officers underline their commitment to upholding justice and combating corruption in our society.
