Kenya Kwisha! DCI Comes Under Fire For Advocating Use Of Witchcraft In Arresting Criminals

Date:

The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has been criticized by Kenyans for advocating for the use of witchcraft in handling crime matters.

According to DCI, they were able to arrest three men suspected of stealing livestock after a witchdoctor intervened.

The suspects identified as Hillary Momanyi, 22, John Bukhazio 28 and Winston Mutiele, 20,   had allegedly stolen a goat and calf. The witchdoctor used bees to flash them out.

“If you thought witch doctors were only used to cause harm in society, you better reconsider your thoughts as a witch doctor in Botsotso, Kakamega county, used his magical powers to track down livestock thieves and bring them to book,” DCI said in their usual social media briefing.

The incident occurred in Emusanda village whereby the suspect emerged carrying the stolen livestock on their shoulders. Their hands were filled with bees as they bleated and mooed like the animals that they had stolen.

“In an incident that brought activities in Emusanda village to standstill, three men who had been attacked by a swarm of bees emerged, carrying on their shoulders the stolen goat and a calf, as they bleated and mooed onomatopoeically, like the animals,” DCI further said.

The owner of the animals decided to visit the witchdoctor after discovering that his animals were missing and after he performed his rituals, the three men emerged two days later.

“The owner of the livestock Tolibert Imbiakah, 42, visited the benevolent witch doctor, after waking up two days ago only to find the animals missing from their pen. The witch doctor visited the man’s compound and conducted some rituals at the enclosure while mumbling some incantations, then left telling the owner not to worry as the thugs would come looking for him after two days. 

“The owner of the animals emerged and positively identified his stock as the witch doctor took possession of his bees before handing over the apologetic thugs to authorities,” the statement further read.

The incident has left Kenyans wondering why DCI would Advocate for witchcraft in such cases as others considered the move a marketing strategy.

“For the first time I beg to differ with you on this. What you are trying to tell us is that whenever there is robbery in our homes we should visit witchdoctors and not police. Were the stolen animals stung by the bees?” Jamleck Mwongera said.

“@DCI_KenyaKenya is finished. Consulting witchdoctors to deploy bees. Will you be moving with that man whenever duty calls,” Omondi Jagot commented.

“Can you direct the doctor then to tell us who killed, JM kariuki, Saitoti & Msando” another Kenyans said.
