Nakuru County Police Commander Emmanuel Opuru said that Corporal Collins Kochei of Tangi Tano Police Post in Naivasha also turned the gun on himself, losing his life shortly afterwards. “The shooting incident took place at a bar known as Lucy’s Pub in the Tangi Tano area at around 7:30 pm on January 1, 2026. He then turned the rifle on himself and shot himself through the chin, and the bullet exited on the forehead,” a police report read in part. The residents accused officers attached to a local police post of laxity in providing security, saying that patrols are not conducted regularly. They have become too comfortable with the locals for them to act on criminals,” said Peter Waweru.
