Elsewhere, this comes days after Kenya Power arrested three more suspects in Nairobi and Kiambu counties in connection with the vandalism of transmission tower 1052 in Ngubi, Naivasha.
In a statement on Tuesday, September 22, the company said the suspects, identified as James Njenga, Shadrack Mwangi and Ruben Kipkoech Ngetich, were apprehended by Kenya Power’s Central and North Eastern Security teams.
Their arrests followed leads obtained from two suspects who were arrested on Monday, September 21, as the utility company intensified investigations into the vandalism of its infrastructure.
Kenya Power said the latest arrests were made during targeted operations at scrap metal yards, where its security teams recovered materials believed to have been vandalised from its infrastructure.
