The Kenyan police authorities have reportedly indicted a notorious police officer identified as Diba, who alongside other colleagues had been accused of extortions, abduction and enforced disappearance of foreign nationals in the country. Diba with other rogue officers had reportedly extorted $850 from a Nigerian and some had their passports stolen. He was accused of planting drugs in the apartments of their victims after abduction to extort huge amount of money from them. If they refused, the person would be jailed and deported.

SaharaReporters learnt some Kenyan police officers go as far as making reference to the harsh treatment of protesters during the #EndSARS protests of October 2020, when some protesters were killed across the country and several others were injured. Many protesters were also arrested and detained, with some still languishing in detention almost two years after.
