Detectives have arrested a 27-year-old man linked to the fatal shooting of Abdirahim Abdullahi Ibrahim, which occurred on November 9, 2024, at DD Plaza in Nairobi’s Kamukunji area.
According to the detectives, the suspect, Paul Odhiambo Owuodho, alias Fazul Muhamed, was apprehended last evening following a joint intelligence-led operation by Shauri Moyo detectives and their counterparts from DCI Headquarters.
According to a police report filed at California Police Station, the incident unfolded when a security guard heard a gunshot and alerted authorities.
Responding officers found Abdirahim’s lifeless body with a gunshot wound to the neck, lying in a pool of blood.
“According to a report booked at California Police Station, a security guard had on the fateful night of November 9 heard a gunshot, before informing the police who rushed to the scene and found Abdirahim’s body lying in a pool of blood, dead. He had a bullet shot through his neck,” reported the DCI.
Following extensive investigations and days of relentless pursuit, officers traced the suspect to his hideout in kiambiu slums, where he was taken into custody.
However, Shauri Moyo detectives have taken up the investigation ahead of Odhiambo’s arraignment on Monday.
Additionally, in the ongoing investigation, the detectives seek to establish the links between the suspect and the gang of three that in August 2023 accosted and gunned down DCI officer David Mayaka at Mihang’o area of Kayole.
