Now heads roll at JKIA over the Armenians
By Bernard Momanyi
Senior police officers at the Kenya Airports Police Unit have been
transferred following Thursday night’s scuffle involving the Armenian
brothers.
The Kenya Airport Police Unit’s OCPD and the Officer in charge of the
station there have been transferred together with a Corporal and two
constables who were on duty that night.
A senior officer at Police headquarters says the message has been
communicated to all those affected through their Commandant Beatrice
Nduta.
According to our source, the decision to transfer the officers was
reached late last night by Police Commissioner Major General Hussein
Ali when they failed to explain why they did not take control of the
situation during the night brawl involving the Armenians and Customs
officials.
They also failed to explain why they allowed the Armenians to get out
of the airport even after thay threatening to shoot officials of the
Kenya Revenue Authority at the Customs offices.
The airport is a high security area with a fully fledged police
division and the headquarters of the Kenya Airports Police Unit.
It has over 200 uniformed and non uniformed police officers from
various units who are charged with providing maximum security on a
twenty four hour basis.
