Cops on Saturday arrested 17 revellers and attendants in a bar locked from inside in Wote town, Makueni County. During the arrest, one of the bar patrons was given a police jacket. A patron who escaped the 5pm arrest told this writer that some of the revellers, including the man who was given a jacket, were police officers. “We were drinking with some of those officers who have joined the raid, they even bought beer for us,” said the escapee, who also lost his phone while running away. One man was given a police jacket and joined the raid as a senior police officer talked to a third man, whom The Star learned was the bar owner.
