Daily Nation on the Spot Over Article About DCI

The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has issued a strong rebuttal to a recent article published by the Saturday Nation, both in print and online, titled “Businessman’s horrific ordeal at the hands of rogue DCI officers” and “Killer Police out to scuttle murder case using spies.”

The contentious story revolves around Abdullahi Abdile Isaack, a Somali national who has been implicated in a string of fraudulent activities.

It is worth noting that Abdullahi is currently a prime suspect in a robbery with violence case, wherein he made off with $160,000USD belonging to a local businessman.

This incident involved the collaboration of three rogue police officers from Gigiri police station.

The DCI emphasized that the allegations made in the article are not only unfounded but serve to undermine the efforts of the department in combatting criminal activities such as gold scams and money laundering.

Abdullahi’s criminal record is extensive, and he is suspected of fraudulent acquisition of Kenyan citizenship.

Furthermore, the DCI clarified that the officers involved in the case were promptly apprehended, and investigations were initiated.

The accused parties, including the three police officers, were charged with robbery with violence.

However, a recent turn of events saw Abdullahi entering into an out-of-court agreement with the complainant, leading to the withdrawal of the case.

It is imperative to note that the author of the article did not seek clarification from the DCI or verify established facts regarding Abdullahi’s criminal activities.

This lack of due diligence has resulted in the publication of a story that is both inaccurate and sensationalized.

The DCI underscored the importance of ethical journalism and calls upon the management of the Nation Media Group to exercise professionalism and refrain from disseminating baseless and unsubstantiated stories in the future.

The DCI remains committed to an open-door policy and encourages responsible reporting in the interest of justice and truth.
