Kenya’s Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) had caught the police officers in a Nairobi sting by offering them a US$975 bribe, the commission was quoted as saying by Reuters. The suspects were working for the police Directorate of Criminal Investigations.
The two suspects got away after police “fired several rounds of ammunition as warning shots to facilitate the escape of their colleagues,” the EACC posted on Twitter.
The escaping officers managed to leave with the bribe money despite still being handcuffed, the EACC said.
