CCTV footage has emerged showing several officers allegedly from the General Service Unit (GSU) breaking into two establishments before making away with property reported to be worth Ksh11 Million.
The incident is reported to have occurred in Isebania, Migori county where the officers forced their ways into an entertainment joint and a gold processing plant in the area.

“I received a call and I was informed that police had broken into my business establishment, however when three of my employees asked what was happening they were roughed up.
"It was only later that they claimed to be working with Kenya Revenue Authority Officers and that they were looking for certain documents," a businessman in Isebania town divulged about the raid which occurred on Thursday, March 18.
In the entertainment joint, employees reported to have been ambushed by the officers who resorted to violence. A number of the workers were admitted to the hospital with various injuries after they were assaulted by police.
One of the victims called for investigations to be carried to hold the implicated officers accountable.
“They stole merchandise and money. We have CCTV footage showing officers stuffing money in their pockets. The operation was conducted by GSU officers.
