Woman denies stealing Raila guard’s gun at Kisumu's Dalc Hotel

0 comments

A woman was on Tuesday charged with stealing a gun and cash from a police officer guarding former Prime Minister Raila Odinga.

Ms Maurine Adhiambo was accused of stealing a Ceska pistol valued at Sh150,000 from Mr Edwin Okinda at Kisumu’s Dalc Hotel on April 14.

She also allegedly stole 15 nine-millimetre bullets from Mr Okinda and Sh23,000.

Mr Okinda denied that he failed to safeguard his firearm. He was guarding Mr Odinga, who had visited Suba that day and spent the night at Dalc Hotel with Ms Adhiambo.

More charges

The gun and cash disappeared that night.

Ms Adhiambo denied the charges and asked to be released on bail.

But investigating officer Violet Makori asked the court not to release her because there were items that were yet to be recovered from her.

Ms Adhiambo could also face more charges, she added.

Kisumu senior principal magistrate Samuel Atonga ruled that Ms Adhiambo would be detained until Thursday when her bail terms would be set.
