The Special Service Unit(SSU) of the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has been disbanded.
In a new development shared by official DCI pages, the unit was disbanded on Saturday following a directive from the Acting Inspector General of police Noor Gabow.
“The DCI Special Service Unit (SSU) has been disbanded with immediate effect. This follows a directive from the Ag. IG Mr Noor Gabow,” DCI tweeted.
Adding;
“All officers serving in the disbanded unit have been recalled to DCI Headquarters for further instructions,” said a statement from the DCI.
DCI says this will also allow the National Police Service to prepare for reorganisation under the new administration under Amin Mohammed Ibrahim who was appointed yesterday by President William Ruto.
The disbanded unit was created in December 2019 by ex-DCI boss George Kinoti.
It was comprised of highly trained officers who worked closely with the Crime Research and Intelligence Bureau (CRIB) for information and intelligence sharing.
