On a statement released by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) on Sunday October 26, 2025, the arrests took place in the Manyatta "B" slums, followed a crucial tip-off from vigilant members of the public.
Law enforcement officers in the region executed a targeted raid on a house in the Mbeme area of Manyatta "B."
"Swift action by law enforcement officers in Kisumu East Sub-County has led to the arrest of four notorious criminals and the recovery of a Jericho pistol, thanks to a timely tip-off from vigilant members of the public," Police report reads.
The raid resulted in the arrest of four suspects identified as Timothy Odhiambo, David Beckham Odhiambo, Tony Blair Omondi, and Harun Ibrahim.
