Two police stations, Kinango and Kayole Police Stations, through auctioneers, have announced the auction of millions worth of unclaimed properties that have been lying idle at the stations.
Among the uncollected properties are 39 motorcycles and nine vehicles whose value is worth millions.
Through a gazette notice, auctioneers contracted by the police stations to oversee the exercise revealed that the vehicles and motorcycles would be sold to the highest bidders if the owners failed to claim them within the indicated period.
Kayole Police Station issued a notice to the owners of properties that have been lying idle at the station. This was following an order under Miscellaneous Application No. E76 of 2025 by the Principal Magistrate’s Court at Makadara. The items include 39 motorcycles and nine vehicles.
