Police in Nairobi have arrested more than 100 members of the outlawed Mungiki sect in the last three days.

Provincial Commissioner Francis Sigei also announced that investigations were going on to find out if police officers were colluding with members of the outlawed sect.

“There is no way criminal-minded Mungiki people are going to be in charge of Nairobi,” he said during a crisis provincial security meeting held at the PC’s boardroom in Nyayo House.

Sigei, added that drastic action would be taken against any officer caught giving information to Mungiki members.

Most of the arrests were made by officers from Central and Buruburu stations.

Sigei, speaking only two days after members of the sect terrorised a Nairobi village and killed a 13-year-old girl, warned the police that money used by the sect followers to buy their freedom was blood money.

“When people kill a Standard Five child, you wonder what they are up to,” he said.

A Pangani Primary School pupil, Evelyn Mumbua, was murdered by the sect followers outside her mother’s house in Mlango Kubwa on Monday night.

The PC took issue with Kenyan leaders, saying none of them had publicly condemned the Monday attack.

“I expected to hear leaders condemning the act but none of them has come out,” he said.

Those who attended the meeting were Nairobi Provincial Police boss King’ori Mwangi, all the Officers Commanding Police Divisions, District Criminal Investigations Officers, District Officers and Administration Police bosses.

On Tuesday, Mlango Kubwa residents told journalists that some police officers were passing information reported to the sect followers.

Sigei said most of the sect followers who were in the two registers that were confiscated by the police in April this year, had been arrested.
