Police have intensified the search for one of their own; corporal Caroline Kangogo, who is now a fugitive by any standards.

Kangogo has successfully evaded the police dragnet several times, only leaving the police to catch the wind of her trail.

She is now considered a very dangerous person who the disciplined forces have mobilized a multi-agency team drawn from the police, all elite units from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) to hunt her down.

Kangogo seems to be a handful for the police. They have now invited the military to party even though it is known that the military seldom meddles with internal matters.

A question that lingers in everyone’s mind, including the police, is how Kangogo managed to elude the police dragnet even though she is being pursued by a special squad.
