RINKA group of 24 Administration Police (AP) officers raided a police roadblock in Nairobi and freed one of their bosses who had been arrested by regular police for drink driving.
The illegal rescue early Saturday morning has heightened tension between the two police units which have been at loggerheads in the recent past.
The armed APs stormed the road block on Lang’ata Road and freed their boss, a chief inspector, who had been arrested by police and officials from the National Traffic and Safety Authority at around 2:30 a.m.
The inspector had failed a breathlyser test and, while he waited for the officers to take him to the police station alongside other people who had been arrested, he called his juniors.
Police at the road block told the Sunday Nation that the seven officers conducting the breathalyser tests stopped the inspector who was driving a personal vehicle and realised he had taken alcohol beyond the required limit.
