Detectives have arrested two ladies following an intriguing post made on WhatsApp status.

According to an update made on DCI X (formerly Twitter) account, the Crime Research and Intelligence Bureau, Nyanza Region, in collaboration with their Directorate of Criminal Investigations(DCI) counterparts from Nyando, have arrested Sharon Auma and Nancy Atieno Obura.

The arrest came after a report was received about Sharon Auma who decided to spice up her WhatsApp status, posting a photo of herself brandishing a pistol while ominously warning that any man who dared dump her would face severe consequences.

The detectives upon receiving the information hurriedly acted on the issue before the worse could happen.

“Responding swiftly, the hawk-eyed detectives swooped into Awasi town and apprehended Sharon. Upon questioning, she led officers to a rented two-bedroom house belonging to her friend, and now co-accused, Nancy Atieno Obura,” DCI reported.

A further search in the house led to the recovery of the pistol Sharon was using to threaten any man planning to dump her.

“A thorough search of the house turned up the pistol in question, with an empty magazine, cleverly wrapped in clothes and stashed in a basin under the bed. Also recovered is a fake motorcycle number plate bearing the number KMGG 805M. Both suspects are now in custody, undergoing processing pending arraignment, as detectives pursue more leads to arrest more suspects in connection to the firearm.”The Criminal Investigators concluded
