A senior cop based in Teso, Busia County caused a stir in Busia town after he fired in the air two times.
This followed an altercation over a woman early on Wednesday morning.
According to a statement by DCI, at around 11 pm, the cop had walked into Didis pub in the company of a beautiful lady.
The lady identified as Daisy had met with the cop to unwind after a long day’s work.
“The cop ordered for drinks and the two imbibed the frothy waters while conversing in low tones,” the statement reads.
Daisy was seen giggling occasionally to their private chats while leaning on the cop’s shoulder.
This left the cop beaming with excitement.
'All went well in the pub located at the border town with Uganda, as other revelers danced with their parters to slow rhumba tunes that set the mood for a happy ending, to crown the Christmas festivities," the statement reads.
However, at around 2:30 am, sleuths said the woman spotted a man she knew sitting at an adjacent table and joined him for a brief chat.
As a result, this annoyed the senior cop who paid for his swallows only and left in a huff, leaving the woman to her own devices.
Efforts by the woman to go after the top commander and explain that things were not as he thought fell on deaf ears.
The officer entered his somehow old car and took off towards Amerkwai, leaving with the woman’s handbag.
The sleuths further stated that the woman accompanied by the bar manager went after the cop using a motorbike while demanding for the handbag and blocked his vehicle at Amerkwai, along the Busia-Malaba road.
"Immediately, the officer whipped out his firearm a Jericho pistol loaded with 15 rounds of 9mm calibre and fired two rounds in the air," says DCI.
This sent the duo scampering for dear life and attracting the attention of police officers from Adungosi police station who rushed to the scene.
The officer’s firearm was confiscated and an Inquiry File No. 3/2022 opened to conclusively investigate the matter.
