The Officer Commanding Station (OCS) at Central Police Station in Nairobi has been arrested after allegedly authorising the release of 64 people arrested during Monday’s fuel protests.
A police report seen by The Standard shows that Chief Inspector Dishen Angoya was arrested by Nairobi police commanders and detained at Lang’ata Police Station.
Police said the officer is being investigated over the release of suspects who had been detained over alleged public order offences linked to the demonstrations. Angoya had served at Central Police Station for about a month.
The arrests followed nationwide protests sparked by a sharp increase in fuel prices announced by the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) in its May review.
