Police have launched investigations after thieves broke into the home of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Noordin Haji in Riverside, Nairobi and stole electronics and personal effects.
The DPP’s office also confirmed the robbery incident and asked Kenyans not to politicise it.
“The DPP would like to clarify that there was a robbery at his residence, not his office, and investigations are ongoing. The ODPP, as a Prosecuting Authority, doesn’t collect or store evidence of any nature. Members of the public and media are urged not to politicise this incident,” Haji’s office confirmed.
According to the police, the thieves made away with electronics including a TV set, a laptop, and assorted pairs of shoes despite his house being guided by armed police officers.
Officers who were on duty are said to not have heard anything.
Nairobi Regional Police Commander James Mugera visited the scene and said they are in pursuit of the criminals.
He added that all the workers and security who were home would be questioned.
The incident happened on Thursday night, August 4, 2022.
Interior CS Fred Matiangi said investigations into the robbery have commenced and a team had been assigned to find out who was responsible for the robbery.
“I don’t want to make sideline comments on a matter as sensitive as that has happened as investigations are ongoing,” he said.
