At this stage no suspects have been identified yet.

Correctional Services Commissioner Michael Waipo reported yesterday that the armory at Bomana was accessed with the use of a key on Thursday night by unknown suspects.

 Nine, 5.56 millimeter bullets and an empty banana magazine were taken.

There are suspicions that it could be an inside job as a result of a power struggle between the CS hierarchy.

NCD Metropolitan Superintendent Ben Turi is aware of the situation and police have been instructed to keep a close watch on the prison facility.

Correctional Service Commissioner Michael Waipo says the armory was accessed with the use of a key.

No suspects have been identified at this time however police are investigating the matter.

Waipo believes this is an inside job as a result of a tussle of the current position he holds.

The armory was last accessed on Monday.

“Instructions have been issued for the changes of both the deadlock and secondary lock. Arms in the wrong hands is dangerous for everyone,” he says.
