A police officer attached to the Security of Government Buildings (SGB) unit in Nairobi has been arrested after allegedly losing his firearm at a massage parlour in the city centre.
According to a report filed at Central Police Station, Police Constable Amos Kimathi said he visited Kingsway Massage Parlour along Monrovia Street on May 21, 2025, at around 4pm.
Kimathi, who reportedly serves as an escort to a former Tigania Central MP, told investigators that after receiving a massage, he fell asleep and was later moved to a room to rest.
He claimed he had placed his Ceska pistol, serial number G0610, under a pillow before dozing off.
The officer reportedly woke up at around 11pm and discovered the firearm was missing. After conducting an unsuccessful search, he reported the matter to Central Police Station.
The massage parlour is located about 70 metres from the police station along Monrovia Street.
Police officers visited the scene and documented it as investigations commenced. Kimathi was later arrested and detained pending investigations.
Authorities have launched a manhunt to recover the missing firearm, with the case now being handled by DCI Central.
