Man Arrested With Pistol After Attempting to Access VIP Section at Migori Football Match

Police Officers in Migori have arrested a man found in illegal possession of a CZ pistol during a football showdown between Migori Youth FC and Equity Bank FC at Sony Green Stadium in Awendo.

In a statement, the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) said the rogue individual, identified as Godfrey Otieno, aka “Daddy,” tried to storm the VIP dais while the game was in full swing. 

However, the security detail was quick to spot him, and when they attempted to restrain him, Daddy pulled a pistol faster than a cheetah on the hunt.

As the situation threatened to spiral out of control, officers acted swiftly, disarming him and restoring order before chaos could erupt. 

Suspects Pretend to be KDF

Daddy was found in possession of a CZ pistol loaded with ten rounds of ammunition, all while masquerading as a member of the Kenya Defence Forces.

Preliminary investigations revealed that the firearm belonged to one Peter Jobando, a civilian firearm holder who was quick to show up at the scene.
