Police in Embu County are investigating an incident where one of their own was found dead along Manyatta-Kianjokoma Road.
Administration Police (AP) officer Collins Wafula was discovered dead on Saturday, December 28 morning.
The 35-year-old officer was based at the Embu North Deputy County Commissioner (DCC) headquarters.
Confirming the incident, Embu North police boss Benjamin Kiprono says Wafula left an end-of-year party at the DCC offices.
“He was last seen after he joined a group of friends for drinks at Jambo Lodge at around 12 am. However, details are scanty from this point,” the police boss said.
The lifeless body of the officer was discovered by a passers-by in Kavutiri area. “It is not yet clear whether this was a hit-and-run incident or if the officer was murdered elsewhere and his body dumped on the road,” added Kiprono.
