The National Police Service (NPS) has ordered Kassim Abdi Sebu
to surrender to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) Homa Bay
County headquarters over his alleged association with the violence witnessed in
Homa Bay on Sunday.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, NPS spokesperson Muchiri
Nyaga said Sebu had been linked to the mayhem that erupted in the county during
the Linda Mwananchi tour on August 16, 2026.
Sebu is required to report to the County DCI headquarters as
police continue investigations into the incidents.
The police update comes as investigations into the violence
continue, with several suspects already arrested and taken to court.
“One Kassim Abdi Sebu, who is being associated with the mayhem
witnessed in Homa Bay, has been ordered to report to the County DCI
Headquarters, Homa Bay,” said Nyaga.
“In Homa Bay, 12 suspects took plea and have been placed under
various bond terms, while two more are being investigated for gun-related
incidents and shall be produced in court upon the finalisation of investigations.”
The NPS said the two suspects will be presented in court once
investigations are finalised.
Meanwhile, in Kisumu, the NPS said all 15 suspects arrested
with various crude weapons on the eve of a rally were produced in court.
The DCI has been given four days to conduct further
investigations into the suspects.
Police also ordered one Oliver Jaoko, alias Olivetti, who is
linked to the 15 suspects, to report to the Regional DCI Headquarters in
Kisumu.
The NPS said it would continue pursuing individuals involved
in acts of violence and criminality, warning that those involved in gang
violence and mayhem would be dealt with firmly within the law.
“We shall remain on this path until all acts of violence and
criminality are brought to an end,” Nyaga said.
