Kenyans on social media have come out calling for the arrest and speedy prosecution of a woman pictured holding an assault rifle in a house at unidentified location.
This came after photos of the gun-totting woman surfaced and went viral on social media in the wake of rampant armed robberies and homicide cases.
In one of the photos, the unidentified woman is pictured holding a rifle inside what appears to be sparsely furnished room.
“Sasa mahali imefika kesho baadae,” the photo is captioned.
The woman, who goes by the name Everline Kemunto on Facebook, has even updated that particular photo as her profile picture.

In another photo, which she has uploaded on Facebook, the woman is pictured wearing a police cap while dressed in civilian clothes.
The emergence of these photos have come at a time when the government is working tirelessly to regulate the use of firearms.
