Police gun down two gangsters in Dandora
Police officers have Monday morning gunned down what they termed as a dangerous gangster as he led a cabal of thugs in staging attacks targeting residents living in Dandora in Nairobi County.
According to the DCI, the gun toting thug identified as Fidel, was shot after he defied orders to surrender.
Fidel was the ringleader of a gang of 5 and had been engaging detectives in a cat and mouse game for a while but was finally cornered at Joy Villa in Dandora, shortly after staging a robbery along Mwas road.
DCI says preliminary investigations and intelligence analysis had connected Fidel and his gang to the spate of attacks that have rocked Nairobi’s eastlands suburbs in recent days, targeting innocent civilians
In a statement on its official Twitter page, the DCI said, “A firearm and two rounds of 9mm callibre, were recovered from the thug following the operation mounted in the wee hours of today morning. Two other thugs who were with Fidel at the time of the incident, were lucky to escape the onslaught alive but with their bodies riddled with bullet wounds. Our Dandora based crime busters are on hot on their trail.”
