Anne Wanjiru Waiganjo, an officer attached to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) in Karen on Saturday evening, July 3, collapsed and died during a colleague's farewell bash in Upper Hill, Nairobi.
According to a report by K24, the officer collapsed at around 5.39 pm while attending senior police officer, SSP Henry Kiambata's party at Baita restaurant.
The report was filed by SCCIO Lang'ata, Abdirashid Yakub.
“On July 3, 2021 at around 1739hrs duty officer Capitol Hill received a report from SCCIO Langata, Mr Abdirashid Yakub, that one No.235389 CI (w) Ann Wanjiru Waiganjo the Officer in charge DCI Karen suddenly collapsed while at Baita Restaurant within Upper Hill,” part of the report read.
The police report further detailed that the officer was pronounced dead on arrival at Nairobi hospital.
The body is currently awaiting to be transferred to Kenyatta University mortuary as the police continue with their investigations.
Waiganjo came into the spotlight early this year after claims that she had been married to two junior officers surfaced online.
A report by a local daily had branded her as a bigamist, claiming that she had been married to inspector David Murimi as well as David Mbitu Muchi, a junior officer in the prisons service.
The reports were however debunked by a source privy to the matter. They affirmed to Kenyans.co.ke, that Waiganjo's first marriage with Murimi had been dissolved in court.
The source alleged that Waiganjo had been the subject of numerous physical and verbal abuse to the extent of been hospitalised.
"The assault case was reported at Kikuyu police station but David Murimi being a police officer, she felt it was prudent to protect the image of the National Police service," the source disclosed.
Waiganjo, through court documents, also alleged to have received threats after filing for divorce from the officer. The allegations were however disputed by Murimi who challenged Waiganjo to table evidence of her claims in court.
The court, however, ruled in favour of Waiganjo.
"It is ordered that the marriage celebrated between Waiganjo and Murimi on September 18, 2012, be and is hereby dissolved," read part of the ruling.
