There was drama at the Naiberi police station in Eldoret after human fingers were dropped there without the other body organs.
The forefinger, ring finger, and little finger are suspected to have been chopped off by an unknown person.
According to Uasin Gishu County Criminal Investigation officer Daniel Muleli, the fingers were dropped off at the station by a boda-boda rider.

He said the rider was given the envelope containing the human organs from another person, who could not reveal the content.
The CID boss reiterated that the complainant, who is a local businessman in the town, noticed the envelope had the fingers after it was handed over to him by the rider.
“This sad incident was reported to the station by Reuben Kiptisia Kiptui (complainant) at around 7 pm from a bodaboda rider, but after opening it he found three fingers and six rounds of live ammunition,” Muleli said.
He said the unknown suspect had called to inform him that he had given a bodaboda rider his parcel and his contacts.
Kiptui narrated that when he tried to ask him who the suspect was, he responded that everything, plus his numbers, is in the parcel.

When the police asked the bodaboda the relation between him and the person who handed the parcel, he said he doesn’t know him, that he was just given the mobile number of the complainant.
“During the interview, the bodaboda explained to us that while operating near Topis bar along the old Nairobi road, he received a call from someone requesting to take the parcel to Reuben Kiptisia Kiptui, and that’s what I did,” Muleli added.
However, the CCIO stated that they have already forwarded the three fingers and six ammunitions to the National Registration Bureau for identification.
“We appealed to the hospitals across the country, including mortuary attendants, to check the fingers from uncollected bodies if there are somebodies with missing organs of that nature,” Muleli urged.
He also urged the residents to report to the police any missing bodies without fingers, arguing that they were monitoring the motive of the organs.
