Criminal gang activities are on the rise in the coastal region leaving the residents living in massive fear for their lives and little wealth targeted everyday with their eyes hopelessly cast on the authorities to do something.
After efforts pulled, the detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) on the mission have reportedly arrested 17 suspected members of the outlawed Mombasa Republican Council (MRC).
The 17 were arrested in a house in Diani, Kwale County.
“The suspects were arrested as they assembled at a house in Kibundani area,” DCI revealed.
Speaking on the arrests, the DCI noted that the suspects were aged between 41 and 84 years.
Additionally, the DCI stated that during the raid, they recovered membership registers and contributions at the said house.
The suspects are to be presented in court on Wednesday.
