Burglars Break into Mudavadi’s Karen Home, Steal Household Items

Police in Nairobi are investigating an incident where burglars broke into Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi’s Karen home and stole household items.

The two burglars are said to have accessed the property, which is guarded by armed police officers, by jumping over the perimeter wall and made away with a 40-inch Samsung television set and a gas cylinder.

The incident was reported by Mudavadi’s son Moses, who was informed by their domestic worker that one of the TV sets and the gas cylinder were missing.

This prompted police to review CCTV footage and established that the incident happened on Sunday afternoon.

“After review of CCTV footage, it was established that two male strangers gained entry into the compound by jumping over the perimeter wall between 1630hrs and 1700hrs where one of them covered one of the CCTV cameras with a plastic object in order to hide their identity,” reads a police report.

“They then accessed some rooms at the compound and stole the property before escaping.”

Police said the affected rooms had not been attended to for long.

Mudavadi, a former vice president, deputy prime minister, and MP, and his wife were not at home at the time of the incident. 

Police established that the electric fence at the compound was not working at the time of the incident.
