DCI Offers Cash Reward for Information Leading to Rearrest of Collins Jumaisi
The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) is offering a monetary reward for information leading to the capture of Collins Jumaisi Khalusha, a suspected serial killer who escaped custody on Tuesday.
In a public announcement, the DCI stated that those providing credible tips on the suspect’s location after his escape would receive a “significant cash reward.”
Anyone with relevant information on the suspect’s whereabouts can confidentially contact authorities through police hotlines 911, 999, or 112, or report to the nearest police station, according to the DCI.
Khalusha is among 13 suspects being pursued by detectives following what appears to be an insider-facilitated escape from Gigiri Police Station.
Gossipa2z.com has learned that the cell sentry and duty officer on shift are under investigation for potentially aiding the escape.
A fraud suspect, detained in the station on the night of the incident, told investigators that contrary to previous assumptions, the escape didn’t involve cutting through wire mesh in the cells’ basking area.
Gigiri Police Station has six cell blocks, three on each side of a central corridor. Collins Jumaisi Khalusha, linked to the Kware murders, was held in a cell at the farthest end.
Since July 17th, Khalusha had been locked in that cell, with his door secured and him chained to a fixed metal sheet on the floor of his unit.
In the adjacent block, four detainees remained in custody, while the neighboring cell housed 12 Eritrean nationals who fled alongside Khalusha.
The fraud suspect said he arrived at the cells around 9 p.m. and was allowed to keep some money by the officers.

He confirmed that a roll call was conducted shortly after midnight by the duty officer, who then walked away, leaving the cell doors unsecured.
The witness also claimed that upon his arrival at 9 p.m., all detainees, including Khalusha, were already outside their cells, with Khalusha unchained and his door opened.
The handcuffs used to restrain Khalusha were later found discarded in his cell, with the suspect gone.
The witness reported seeing two police officers receive cash from one of the Eritrean detainees before leaving for the canteen, with one officer appearing intoxicated. Sources confirm a corporal at the station is known for reporting to duty while drunk.
With the officers absent, the 13 detainees reportedly walked freely out of the station through the report desk and disappeared into the night.
Around 5:45 a.m., a woman assigned to serve breakfast and operate a food kiosk at the station entered the cells, only to discover that some detainees were missing. She quickly alerted the officers on duty.
There was a delay in reporting the incident to senior management after it was first noticed by the duty NCO. The witness has since identified the two officers involved.
Authorities have launched an extensive search for the escaped suspects.
