Former speaker loses firearm after encounter with Nairobi ladies

Detectives at the Central Police Station in Nairobi are investigating an incident where a former Marsabit County assembly Speaker lost his firearm after an encounter with two ladies in Nairobi.

Mathew Loltome claims that he had traveled to Nairobi when he met two women identified as Beyonce Mueni and Smasher Muthue on Friday night along Wabera Street.

According to the police report, after a brief encounter, they all drove in his car along Tom Mboya Street, where he alighted, leaving one of the two ladies in front of his car.

It is stated that he exchanged contacts with one Beyonce Mueni and thereafter left the two in the vehicle.

They later drove up to Dubois Road, where he checked in his car’s clove compartment, where he had left the pistol the entire day, but it was missing.

“He inquired from Smasher Mutheu who confided that the other lady identified as Beyonce had picked the pistol and stacked in her pants before going way,” the report says

Following the report, one suspect was arrested to help the authorities in their investigations.

In another incident under investigation at the same station, a prison warder was arrested in Nairobi for allegedly retaining money that was sent to his mobile money account by mistake.

It is alleged that the officer, Thomas Morara, attached to Boment GK prisons, was arrested in Nairobi on July 17, 2026, at Mageresa House.

A police report states that Morara was linked to the offense of intentionally withholding payments delivered to him by mistake, against the Computer Misuse and Cybercrimes Act, No. 5 of 2018.

Reportedly, on May 28, 2025 Morara received Sh98,000 which was erroneously sent to him, and upon being asked by the complaint to reverse he declined prompting the investigators to trial him until his arrest in Nairobi.

He is said to have held the sum without consent and was placed in custody awaiting arraignment in court in July 2026 to face the charges.
