Security officers in Kisumu have ramped up patrols to restore order and address the growing concerns of insecurity in the county. Authorities have also imposed a dusk-to-dawn curfew in the crime-prone Kanyakwar area, a notorious hotspot for criminal activities, as part of efforts to contain the situation and prevent further crimes.
This initiative follows a recent wave of robberies that have raised alarms among local residents and law enforcement in the lakeside city. To further enhance security operations, senior police officers were deployed to Kisumu last week to improve coordination and ensure a more effective response to ongoing challenges.
These measures are part of a wider strategy aimed at improving public safety, particularly in areas heavily affected by crime. With the increased security presence and the nighttime curfew in place, authorities hope to deter criminal activities and restore a sense of safety to residents.
