Kayole DCIO Jackson Owino arrested after a dramatic argument at gunpoint in Kasarani

Two-based Kasarani Police Station officers have arrested Kayole DCIO Jackson Owino at a city club in Kasarani in a dramatic argument at gunpoint.

Owino was arrested after an argument with a woman identified as Elizabeth Wangari at Seasons Lounge on Friday, March 25, 2022, at around 2:45pm.

A police report filed at the Kasarani Police Station on March 26 indicates that the senior investigative officer had taken his car to the said bar for washing when he noticed Wangari smoking in the joint.

He went ahead to caution her to stop doing it since it was inappropriate.

“A confrontation erupted between the two and the said Elizabeth Wangari walked out of the bar hurling insults to the senior police officer that he ought to know people,” the police report reads.

After a while, police said, Wangari came back to the bar accompanied by two police officers, Marwa Matiko who was in a police uniform and Charles Maina who was in civilian attire. The officers are said to have questioned the officer why he was threatening the woman.

In a CCTV footage, the DCIO is seen entering the club and is confronted by the officers while interacting with revelers who seem to know him.

He shows the officers something that looks like an identification document but they don’t appear convinced.

Owino, dressed in a grey suit, is later seen seated at a corner enjoying his drink before he is rudely interrupted by the cops again. An argument ensues that degenerate into a fight.

The DCIO attempts to resist arrest but one of the officers in the new ‘Persian blue’ uniform threatens to open fire, forcing the police boss to tone down.

Civilians, who attempted to intervene, were roughed up by the armed officer and opted to watch from a safe distance.

The officers later managed to handcuff Owino before dragging him out of the joint.

The report filed at the Kasarani Police Station indicates that Owino was disarmed his Ceska pistol with Matiko discharging two rounds of ammunition from the weapon outside the bar. He also fired four rounds of ammo from his Scorpion rifle.

The cops frog matched Owino and a civilian identified as Zacharia Mwambi to Kasarani Police Station.

However, the senior officer was released from custody following the intervention of another officer at the station identified as David Ekeno.
