The Anti-terrorism Police (ATPU) is currently conducting a raid at the NTSA offices in Upper hill, Nairobi.
A detective who is part of the team has told Hot News on condition of anonymity that the raid was necessitated after it emerged that due process was not followed while registering the car that was used in the Dusit attack in Riverside on January 15.
The detective said investigations had shown that the car registration number KCN 340E was among 17 other vehicles that had wrongly been registered.
According to the detectives, they raided the ICT offices, NTSA director’s general Francis Mejas office and carted away crucial documents to help in the investigations.
“Due process was not followed. The details of the car were entered into the records by hand instead of using the system. The person registering the vehicle simply send a message to Kamiti maximum security prison and the number plate was made on the same day,” he said.
During the police preliminary investigations, police were tipped off about the Ruaraka Apartment by a neighbor who recognized the car –KCN 340E that was used to ferry the attackers to DusistD2 Complex.
According to NTSA records, the car belongs to Cynkim Investments Company Limited, whose email address is registered as daniel.mutongi@gmail.com.
The car was registered on October 13 2018.
The detectives said the other details about the car are scanty and they want to establish who paid for the cars registration and who are the shareholders and real owners of the Company.
On January, 16th, police impounded a Toyota Ractis car in Kitengela that had similar registration to the one used in the DusitD2 attack.
The car is still in police custody.
