Police officers at the Muthaiga Police Station in Nairobi are on the spot for failing to arrest a businessman accused of assault and unlawful detention of a car.
Despite the Office Directorate of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) recommending that Aloise Kinyanjui Kuria and his employees be charged for attacking and unlawfully detaining Anthony Kariuki Theuri, no action has been taken against the businessman said to be the brother of an influential Kiambu politician.
Both Kinyanjui and Kariuki are businessmen with the former contracting the latter on several occasions to make doors for some of his construction projects.
They fell apart on September 17, 2025 after Kinyanjui instructed his employees to detain Kariuki’s car.
On that fateful day, Kariuki had at around 5am to Kinyanjui’s Parkside Muthaiga home ahead of a site visit in Kericho County.
“He had told me the previous day that we will be heading to Kericho, and that I should be at his residence early enough so that we use one vehicle,” says Kariuki.
On arrival at Kinyanjui’s home, Kariuki claims he was shocked when the businessman ordered the employees to deflate tyres of his Volkswagen Amarok vehicle.
“Fearing for my safety, I locked myself in the car and made desperate calls for help, including a direct call to the Muthaiga Police Station, although officers eventually responded securing my rescue, they failed to arrest Kinyanjui,” says Kariuki.
Through his lawyer, Kariuki, pressed for action to be taken against Kinyanjui for the illegal detention, theft and malicious damage of his vehicle.
