*Migori, September 01, 2023* - Police in Migori are currently on a manhunt for a remandee who escaped from their custody on Friday evening. The incident took place at a hospital in Migori County, leaving authorities concerned about the safety of the public.
According to Migori County Police Commander Peter Kimani, the escapee was among a group of remandees who were being treated at the hospital. The circumstances surrounding the escape are under investigation, and it is still unclear how the remandee managed to evade the authorities.
Remandees are individuals who are awaiting trial or sentencing while in custody. Their absence threatens public safety and poses a potential risk to the community. The police are urging the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities or sightings to the authorities.
"We have launched a manhunt operation to locate and apprehend the escaped remandee. We are working tirelessly to ensure their swift capture," stated Police Commander Kimani. "We are also reviewing our protocols to prevent such incidents from happening in the future."
Law enforcement agencies are collaborating with other security forces to track down the escapee. The search operation extends beyond Migori County, as authorities believe the remandee might attempt to flee to neighboring regions.
The police have also advised medical facilities to enhance security measures when handling remandees to prevent similar incidents. Authorities are considering additional precautions, such as increased surveillance and stricter access controls, to ensure the safety of both patients and staff.
Escapes from custody not only compromise public safety but also raise questions about the effectiveness of security arrangements. The incident highlights the need for enhanced protocols and better supervision to prevent such occurrences in the future.
Citizens are urged to avoid confronting the escaped remandee if spotted but to immediately report the sighting to the nearest police station or dial the emergency hotline. Providing accurate and timely information can greatly assist in the efforts to track down and apprehend the fugitive.
The police are optimistic that with the support of the public and their ongoing efforts, the escaped remandee will soon be brought back into custody and face the appropriate legal actions as required.
