The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) detectives have launched investigations after a football fan reported that his car was stolen from a parking zone while watching the Harambee Stars and Gabon match on Sunday March 23, 2025 at Nyayo Stadium, Nairobi.

In a statement on Monday, the DCI reported that the football fan lost his vehicle which was parked by the roadside along Kisauni Road behind the Nairobi West Hospital, as he watched a match between Kenya’s Harambee Stars and Gabon’s national team at the Nyayo Stadium.

“Reporting at Akila Police Station in Lang’ata, the car owner indicated that he parked his Toyota IST registration number KBN 093B silver in colour at the said spot, at 3.40pm and proceeded to the fan-parked stadium for the World Cup Qualifiers showdown.

“Still healing from a 2-1 loss to the Aubameyang-led Gabonese, the man returned to pick his car at minutes past 7pm only to find it missing,” read part of the DCI report. 

Having provided sufficient proof of ownership of the vehicle to the police, the car has been circulated as stolen, with DCI Langata leading the investigation.

Meanwhile, police in Juja are also investigating the theft of a white Toyota Axio, registration number KCR 628U which was stolen from a residential house at Matangi area near Rurii Primary School, Kimbo.

The owner had left it parked outside the residential home on Saturday night, but on waking up found it gone.

Police have urged members of the public with information about the missing vehicles to report to the nearest police station.
