Appearing at the Kibera law court on October 14th, 2024, a serving police officer, Willis Omondi Onduru who is linked to the theft of the famous Toyota Vitz nicknamed “Pinky Hulk” pleaded not guilty to all the charges.
According to the charge sheet seen by kauntinews.com, the officer faces two counts: one of stealing a motor vehicle contrary to Section 278(A) of the Penal Code, and another of obtaining money by false pretenses contrary to Section 317 of the Penal Code.
In the second count, Onduru is accused of obtaining KSh 230,000 from Mohamed Ahmed Farah with the intent to defraud him, falsely claiming he was in a position to sell him a white Toyota Vitz, registration number KBA 625M, a fact he allegedly knew to be false.
The officer was arrested on October 2, 2026, at Maji House following a months-long investigation by detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), Kilimani.
The investigation was triggered by the theft of a light-green Toyota Vitz belonging to Phoebe Atieno Otieno on August 15, 2026.
Otieno had reportedly parked the vehicle, registration number KBL 732Q, outside the RFUEA grounds along Ngong Road while attending a rugby match.
The car, popularly known as “Pinky Hulk,” attracted widespread attention on social media following its disappearance.
During their search, Otieno and a friend traced the vehicle to Facebook Marketplace, where it had been advertised for sale.
Although the car had allegedly been repainted from light green to white and fitted with new registration plates bearing the number KBA 625M, they reportedly identified it through its distinctive custom features.
Together with other friends, they posed as prospective buyers and arranged to meet the seller at Pangani Shopping Centre on September 17, 2026.
With assistance from officers at Kilimani Police Station, they organized a staged road test. During this operation, the seller was arrested, and the vehicle was recovered.
The recovery marked a breakthrough in the investigation into the vehicle’s theft, which had garnered significant public interest online.
Onduru denied all charges brought against him and was released on a bond of KSh 1 million.
The case is scheduled for mention on November 4, 2026.
