Upon entering her house, three officers from Njathaini Police Station allegedly went straight into her bedroom and took $15,000 (Ksh 1.9 million) and Ksh 200,000 from a suitcase before leaving.
Wariong further claimed that the officers then forced her into a standby silver Toyota Allion under the pretense of taking her to Njathaini Police Station.
"They left the house, and upon arriving within Kamulu Shopping Centre, they dropped the two officers from Kamulu Police Station and picked two other occupants, a lady and a man," the report states.
According to the statement, instead of taking her to the station, the officers allegedly drove her around different locations, including Ruai and Mwiki, demanding the rest of the alleged stolen money.
"They kept moving from one point to another, demanding the remaining amount of money from the one they had already taken from her house," the statement reveals.
Wariong says she was subjected to torture and threats to her life before being returned to her house in the early morning hours.
The report stated that investigations are ongoing, with officers from Kamulu and Ruai visiting the scene.
Two of the three officers involved have been identified as PC Kevin Ombajo and PC David Aduda from Njathaini Police Station, while the third suspect remains unknown. L
A silver Toyota Allion, registration number KBH 139P, allegedly used during the incident, has been identified and is currently parked at Njathaini Police Station.
