Detectives in Nairobi are investigating a shocking incident in which a househelp allegedly disappeared with her employer’s firearm, ammunition, and other valuables in Kileleshwa.
According to a police report, the woman took advantage of her employer’s absence on Monday, November 3, 2025, to steal a portable safe from the bedroom wardrobe. The safe reportedly contained a Glock pistol with 40 bullets, two magazines, USD 1,950, 600 Euros, Sh5,000, assorted jewelry, land title deeds, and several electronic items.
