Police post robbed after officers abandon it to watch soccer
NAIROBI — Several police officers in Nairobi recently let their enthusiasm for soccer get the best of them.
When the quarter-finals for the Championships League by the Union of European Football Association (UEFA) were on, the officers decided to shut down the Kamorwon police post, according to Reuters.
Their quest? A TV to watch the game, which they found at a nearby shopping mall.
However, the officers’ absence allowed thieves to raid the post and steal three rifles and ammunition.
While other officers were “mobilized to swing into action,” it’s not clear whether the soccer fans were disciplined for their actions.
