Kibera police officer arrested for demanding Ksh.4K bribe to arrest defilement suspect

‎The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has arrested a police officer attached to Sarangombe Police Post in Kibera over allegations of soliciting and receiving a bribe in connection with a defilement case.

According to the commission, officer Philip Ochieng Adongo allegedly demanded Ksh.4,000 from the complainant to facilitate the arrest of a suspect accused of defiling the complainant's daughter.

The EACC received the intel and conducted an operation leading to the arrest of PC Adongo and his accomplice George Otieno Oywer, who is accused of receiving the bribe on behalf of the officer. 

‎Both suspects were escorted to the EACC’s Integrity Centre for processing.
