Friday, May 15, 2026 - A team of law enforcement officers from Migori Police Station have arrested a suspect linked to a series of violent robberies in Migori and its environs, recovering a Taurus revolver from his possession.

Thanks to actionable intelligence, the team set a well-planned ambush along the Migori-Kawa main road, right next to Migori Stadium in Nyasare Sub-Location.

Their patience paid off when they intercepted a grey Toyota Succeed, registration number KDM 289F, suspected to be the getaway vehicle of choice for the suspect.

A quick search of the vehicle led to the recovery of a Taurus revolver hidden in a compartment near the gear lever, loaded with seven rounds and ready for action.

A further search revealed two extra rounds of .22mm ammunition stashed away in the right driver's door handle, along with a dagger, exposing the suspect's sinister plans.

The suspect, 32-year-old Justine Nyamete Jepter, now finds himself behind bars at Migori Police Station, where he is undergoing processing ahead of his arraignment.

Meanwhile, the seized firearm and the impounded vehicle have been detained as exhibits.
