Kisumu police officer shoots himself five times in the head over fear of vetting process outcome that exposed his secret source of wealth A traffic Police officer attached to Nyanza Regional Headquarters has committed suicide by shooting himself in the head five times. Police Constable Alfred Ndalana, a rider, on Thursday night shot himself using a colleague's rifle at his house in what colleagues said was fear of the results of the recently concluded police vetting exercise. According to a housemate whose name was withheld by seniors, Mr Ndalana had expressed discomfort after the vetting exercise which exposed him to the media. "He has been telling me that he feared that he would be rendered unfit to serve by the Police Service Commission after all that was revealed during the exercise," said the housemate. Mr Ndalana who faced the vetting panel had been put to task to explain the sources of his wealth which could not match his income, including the several mobile money transfer transactions between him and a particular transport businessman in Kisumu town. However in his defense, Mr Ndalana explained to the panel that he received pay from the businessman for the services he offered which included escorting the Hindu god during various processions. The housemate said Mr Ndalana who had been assigned some duties at the ongoing Kisumu Regional Agricultural Show had retired from the day long duty and joined him in the house. After taking supper, Mr Ndalana sent the housemate to pick a screw driver at a neighbour's house. "I was to be on duty at night, so I had picked my riffle and just before I could leave, Mr Ndalana called me from my room and sent me to get him some screw driver. That is when he shot himself using my firearm," said the housemate. According to reports from Kisumu Traffic Base Commander Jane Mbevi, Mr Ndalana who had retired to his house after a day long duty committed suicide at 9pm shortly after taking supper. With no suicide note left behind, police have now launched investigations into the matter, saying the crime scene has been secured. Source: Standard
