Police in Kirinyaga West are investigating an alleged robbery incident in which three men reported being intoxicated with an unknown substance before losing their valuables and money at a hotel in Sagana.
The incident was reported at Sagana Police Station on Saturday, September 26, 2026, after the three men said they had spent Friday night at Roots Hotel in Sagana Town, where a local music entertainment event was taking place.
According to the police, a resident of Kitengela, and two other men, both from Sagana, met three women they did not know at the entertainment venue.
The group reportedly spent time together before later leaving and booking separate rooms at Chakaka Hotel.
The three men said they woke up at around midday on Saturday and found themselves alone, with the women nowhere to be seen.
They subsequently realised that they had allegedly been intoxicated with an unknown substance and discovered that their valuables were missing.
