Police in Naivasha, Nakuru County, have launched a manhunt for two prisoners who escaped into the bush on Monday, August 22, 2022.
The two prisoners identified as Emmanuel Kirwa and Keith Kirwa escaped into the thicket after the officers, who were taking them to the police cell, parked the vehicle to allow them to relieve themselves.
The prisoners were facing theft charges
The two were picked from Kapsabet Police Station and were being ferried to Ruaka Police Station in Kiambu County pending arraignment over theft.

The two, Emmanuel Kirwa and Keith Kirwa also asked to go for a short call and upon alighting, they escaped to the thicket,” the police report seen by K24 Digital read in part.
