The Directorate of Criminal Investigations has reaffirmed that the conduct of officers from Kasarani police station alleged to have taken bribes to follow up on a case will be investigated.
The had on Friday said investigations had been launched into the allegations.
The DCI further said the findings will be made public once the probe is completed.
This is after a woman in a Tiktok video vented her frustrations about how she had been following up on a matter without any breakthrough.
In the video, the woman said she had been following up on a matter in which she sent money to a wrong number trying to recover it.
The Director DCI instructed the DCI's Nairobi Region Coordinator to launch a thorough probe into the allegations with the view of taking appropriate measures to deliver justice.
In the latest update on the matter issued on Saturday, the DCI said it had been established that the complainant wanted to send some money to her sister back in Kenya while in Saudia Arabia.
According to the DCI, she went to the bank where she left Sh413,000 and her sister's details with the teller.
The bank instructed her to wait for three days before the money would be reflected in her sister's account.
However, when the three days lapsed, her sister confirmed that she had not received the money.
"The complainant returned to the bank only to find that the amount was erroneously deposited to a different mobile subscriber," the DCI said.
According to the DCI, the bank only managed to reverse Sh171,000 since the balance of Sh242,000 had already been withdrawn by the unintended recipient.
It was at that point that the complainant decided to come to Kenya to follow up on the matter.
She reported at Kasarani police station where the case was referred to the DCI Kasarani for action and two detectives were assigned the case.
Upon investigations, the suspect was traced to the Bande area at the Kenya-Tanzania border during the Christmas period, before he relocated to Mombasa at Likoni area.
"On January 13, 2024, the suspect was nabbed and booked at Inuka police station in Likoni," DCI said.
"In compliance with the 24-hour rule within which a suspect must be arraigned before a magistrate, the suspect was released on a Sh22,000 cash bail, but thereafter switched off his phone," the DCI added.
The investigating officers got a tip on the whereabouts of the suspect, and they proceeded to Mombasa and managed to arrest him.
DCI said the suspect was arraigned at Makadara Law Court On February 22, where he was charged and granted bail of Sh200,000 with a surety of Sh400,000.
The case will be mentioned on June 18, 2024, with its hearing scheduled for October 24, 2024, the DCI noted.
"Whereas the case is Pending Before Court (PBC), the alleged misconduct of the investigating officers will be investigated and appropriate action taken."
In the viral video, the woman said she sent the sum of money to the wrong number while in Saudi Arabia.
"I reported to Kasarani DCI, was given an OB and the location of the number was traced."
The woman alleges that it was after that that the officers told her to part with Sh20,000 to fuel the vehicle which was to be used to go and apprehend the suspect.
She went on to say that on the day the suspect was to be arrested, she received another message directing her to send another Sh3,000 for a taxi since the location of the culprit could not be accessed by the police vehicle.
"I was told to send Sh3,000 to the taxi driver, later on, I discovered the person I sent the money to was one of the officers who were supposed to apprehend the suspect," she claimed.
She went on to allege that once the arrest was made, the suspect used Sh100,000 to bribe the officers who released him and sent her threats soon after his release.
