Police in Teso, Busia county are investigating an incident where a senior cop caused a stir in Busia town after he fired in the air twice over an altercation involving a woman.
“Earlier at around 11 pm, the cop had walked into Didis pub in the company of a beautiful babe only identified as Daisy, to unwind after a long day’s work of protecting lives and property at a nearby police station. The cop ordered drinks and the two imbibed the frothy waters while conversing in low tones, as Daisy giggled occasionally to their private chats while leaning on the cop’s shoulder, leaving him beaming with excitement,” the statement reads in parts.
The two enjoyed cosy moments until 2:30 am when the woman saw a male friend and went to exchange pleasantries with him, this made the cop uncomfortable and consequently forced him to walk out leaving the woman behind.
Efforts by the woman to explain herself to the cop failed to bear fruit as the officer got into his car and drove off with the woman’s handbag.
“The woman accompanied by the bar manager went after the cop using a motorbike demanding for her 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, sending the duo scampering for dear life and attracting the attention of police officers from Adungosi police station who rushed to the scene,” DCI said.
Upon questioning, the cop stated that he opened fire because he thought his life was in danger after the motorbike blocked the road. His firearm was confiscated pending investigations.
Following the incident, the DCI has cautioned women against waiting on free drinks and subsequently advised them to stick to one partner whenever they visit entertainment joints to avoid similar instances.
“Meanwhile, babes are advised to reduce instances of ‘vawulences’ in entertainment joints by sticking to only one partner to avoid similar incidents and normalize to pay for their swallows when they make such moves! Enjoy the rest of your holidays and stay out of trouble!” DCI added.
