Its a dark world where weapons are being used like play tools ending mans life as if it were a useless product that anyone can trash however they want.The sound of gangs will always be associated with no good due to the number of distractive gangs growing in Kenya.
In a disheartening story,a gang killed three men in Kisauni and Likoni. According to police and human rights groups, the violence began on Friday and resulted in a police officer being hospitalised with critical injuries.
The two juvenile gangs, ‘Gaza’ and ‘Military’, are feuding after a member of the former was stabbed to death in Majengo Mapya area on Friday.
The worst violence occurred in Likoni on Saturday at around 3.30pm when members of the youth criminal gang called Military descended on residents of Senti Kumi area.
On Saturday afternoon, after the deceased’s burial, Gaza launched a retaliatory attack, killing one local and slashing over five others in the head, back and hands.Doctors say the degree of injuries sustained are severe
According to Francis Auma who works for Muslims for Human Rights, the group was returning from burying a gang member who had been killed the previous day.
The youths attacked residents with knives and machetes. Mr Auma said one of the men who was killed was identified as 32-year-old Bitunguramye Theobare from Rwanda.
“After the burial they started attacking the public and the police intervened,” said Likoni OCPD Benjamin Rotich, adding that two men identified as Shabaan Hassan and Steve Okoth were slashed.
In Kisauni, another gang struck again in Junda ward, injuring two people on Friday evening.
The two Simon Mazera and Juma Karisa, were walking home at around 8pm when they were accosted by three men in police regalia.
“They introduced themselves as police officers and asked us to lie down. But we suspected them, took our chances and took off. Two of them swung their machetes and hit us,” said Mazera.
Police say the Junda gang could be on a political mission as their motive remains unclear.
Police later revealed that one of the gang members who was shot and wounded by officers died in hospital.
Why do you think the gang is acting inhumanly in the areas?
