Police in Makueni county are probing an incident whereby two teachers allegedly escaped with money that had been donated to boda boda riders.
It is alleged that the two teachers from a local primary school took off with the Kshs1 million that had been donated to them by DP William Ruto on Monday October 25.
The teachers had to seek refuge in a police station since the riders were hotly pursuing them.
“Two Makueni based teachers have heavens to thank after they escaped the wrath of irate bodaboda riders by the skin of their teeth last evening, after seeking refuge at a police post,” read a report by DCI
“The two teachers based at two local Primary Schools, stormed Kambu police post and went straight behind the report office desk with dozens of motorbike riders hot in their pursuit,” DCI added.
Officers on duty were shocked as they did not have a clue of what was transpiring.
“They took cover behind two surprised police officers manning the desk, pleading with them to protect them from the angry mob that was baying for their blood. The officers who had a difficult time trying to calm down the mob learnt that the two men seeking refuge behind their backs, had allegedly been given a token of Sh1 Million by a politician who was campaigning in the area earlier in the day,” DCI stated.
According to the boda boda riders, instead of the teachers sharing the donation with them, they chose to take off with it.
“The boda boda riders alleged that instead of the two sharing the incentive with them and the womenfolk selling market merchandise, they took off with the money.
As the officers tried to calm down the unruly mob, some became impatient and started hurling projectiles at them demanding that the two be released to face instant justice,” DCI said.
This forced the officers to call for reinforcement from Mtito a Ndei police station, which arrived immediately.
“The mob was dispersed but pockets of the infuriated boda boda riders who couldn’t come to terms with the loss, remained peeping at the ongoing in the police post, from the periphery. Investigations into the incident are ongoing,” DCI noted.
