Saturday, November 14, 2026 - Detectives have arrested three suspects after raiding a residential house in Tassia, Embakasi, where they recovered a brown leather bag containing an alarming cache of explosive devices and ammunition.
The intelligence-driven
operation was conducted by detectives from Embakasi after they received credible
information about suspicious activities involving the suspects.
According to the Directorate
of Criminal Investigations (DCI), detectives trailed and arrested Kelvin Oluoch
Obunaka and his brother, Benjamin Obunaka, alias Obunaka the DJ, at a residence
within Tassia Stage.
Upon interrogation, the two
led detectives to a second house belonging to Kennedy Nzau, near Triple M
Supermarket in Tassia, where a search uncovered the dangerous materials
concealed in a brown leather bag.
The recovered items included
six CS smoke hand-thrown grenades, four Model 2020 hand-thrown tear gas
grenades, one 64mm CS hand-thrown smoke grenade, three 37/38mm rifle-launched
tear gas grenades, one 37/38mm flash-bang grenade and 16 rounds of 7.62mm blank
ammunition.
Crime Scene Investigation
(CSI) detectives documented the scene, while the recovered items were secured
as exhibits for further forensic examination.
The three suspects remain in
police custody, undergoing processing ahead of their arraignment in court as
detectives investigate the circumstances surrounding their possession of the
materials.
Investigators are also
working to establish the intended use of the recovered devices and determine
whether the suspects have links to other criminal activities.
The DCI has thanked members
of the public for sharing credible intelligence, saying such cooperation
remains instrumental in preventing crime and disrupting criminal networks.
Were the three suspects planning something sinister with the recovered explosives?
