A man will be charged on Thursday at the Kibera Law Courts for reporting a robbery at the Nyayo Stadium roundabout, Nairobi.
The DCI said on the night of October 20, 2020, the suspect reported a robbery with violence at the Langata Police Station alleging that occupants of a car that had rammed into his, stole from him.
“Muriuki had reported that a white Nissan had hit his Toyota Fielder at the Nyayo Stadium roundabout along Mombasa road, forcing him to stop. It is at this point he alleged that three men, one brandishing a knife jumped out of the Nissan, confronted him, and took off with his vehicle,” DCI said in a statement on Twitter.
It later emerged that the entire report was false since investigations showed that on a fateful day, Muriuki hit the said the Nissan and fled the scene of the accident.
Richard Muruiki is accused of giving false information to the police officers.
Muriuki’s vehicle was then towed to Industrial Area Police Station for causing obstruction after investigators managed to track it down.
It has emerged that Muriuki was not robbed as he claimed and will be arraigned for issuing false information to the police contract to section 128 (a) of the penal code, according to the DCI.
