According to reports, the suspect, Collins Leitich, alias Chepkulei, a resident of Asis Village in Ndugulu location, took it upon himself to establish a police patrol base at a building, and went as far as painting the structure in official police colors, creating the impression of a legitimate security post.<\/p>\n
The discovery of the unauthorized base was made by local authorities, who promptly commenced investigations.<\/p>\n
Officers from Kamuyu Police Post, under Kondoo Police Station, were alerted and recorded the incident under OB04\/08\/03\/2025.<\/p>\n
Residents expressed shock at the revelation. \u201cWe were surprised to learn that the police patrol base was not official. Many of us thought it was a genuine initiative to improve security in the area,\u201d said one of the residents.<\/p>\n
Authorities have yet to establish the suspect\u2019s motive for setting up the unauthorized patrol base. Police have assured residents that appropriate action will be taken as they continue with their investigations.<\/p>\n
According to reports given by most Kenyans, the man did this due to lack of jobs. Taking to his different social media platforms to speak on this, the former Governor of Nairobi, Honorable Mike Sonko stated that nothing is impossible in Kenya.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
