A police officer’s pistol that disappeared during a massage session at a Nairobi central business district spa last week has been recovered in a supermarket luggage area, with two rounds of ammunition missing.

Detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) recovered the Ceska pistol on Tuesday at Development House along Moi Avenue after tracing a suspect through closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage.

The weapon, assigned to an officer attached to the Security of Government Buildings unit, was wrapped in a polythene bag and hidden near fruits in the luggage section of a supermarket.

Officers found the holster intact.
