The Capitol Hill Police Station in Nairobi has been officially degazetted, prompting the immediate relocation of officers and the closure of operations at the facility.

In a statement by Officer Commanding Station Tusca Opondo, all officers were instructed to vacate the premises within the shortest time possible following their redeployment to other stations. 

"Capitol Hill Police Station has been officially degazetted, and as a result, I, the Officer Commanding Station, have been instructed to vacate the premises within the shortest time possible," the statement read in part. 

The OCS ordered all multi-agency investigators with pending cases and exhibits currently held at the station to collect them without delay.

"I am instructed to request that all multi-agency investigators with pending cases and exhibits, including motor vehicles, currently held at this station, arrange to collect them immediately," Opondo stated.

Members of the public with pending cash bail deposits were also advised to collect their refunds promptly before the funds are surrendered to the National Treasury.
