DCI inazuia jaribio la kuiba mafuta ya ndege Wilson Airport

Maafisa wa DCI wamezuia jaribio la kuiba mafuta ya jet kutoka ndege inayofanyiwa matengenezo katika Wilson Airport. Wamekamata lori la Mitsubishi Canter lenye madari manne ya mafuta na wamekamatwa wanne. Wasimamizi wanasema ndege ilikuwa ya Airworks Aviation.

Maafisa wa Kenya Airport Police Unit (KAPU) waligundua lori la Mitsubishi Canter nyeupe likisukuma shughuli za kawaida katika uwanja wa ndege. Walipofuatilia, wakapata madari manne, kila moja ikiwa na lita 200 za mafuta ya jet, yaliyodaiwa kutolewa kutoka ndege inayofanyiwa matengenezo.

DCI walisema, "Jaribio la siri la kuiba mafuta ya jet na kuyatoa chini ya kivuli cha shughuli za kawaida za uwanja wa ndege limezuiliwa baada ya maafisa wa KAPU kuzuia gari la tuhuma katika Wilson Airport." Mmiliki wa shehla hiyo hakuwa na pasi ya lango kuruhusu ufikiaji wa eneo lililozuiliwa, na lori halikuwa na uthibitisho wa EPRA kwa kusafirisha bidhaa za mafuta.

Wamekamatwa mmiliki wa gari, dereva na watu wawili wengine, wao wakiwa rumandei wakati uchunguzi unaendelea kabla ya kuwekwa mahakamani. Lori na madari ya mafuta yamewekwa rumandei kama ushahidi. Uizi wa mafuta ya jet hutokana na thamani yake ya soko na matumizi kama kiongezo cha diesel au dawa za kulevya.
