Things went south for notorious Dandora gangsters who met their fate after being gunned down by policemen dressed like women coming from a worship service.
The police killed two out of a five-man gang terrorizing locals at Stage ya Maji area proving that the cry of the residents had been heard as often members of the public lament that they are being terrorized but the police don’t take serious actions.
The incident followed reports by locals at Dandora Police station that they had been robbed at around 4.am. The other three escaped unhurt.
Reports indicate the gang is notorious of waylaying and robbing worshipers from prayer vigils.
According to Kamukunji police commander Adamson Bungei, undercover officers are easily spotted by the gangs operating in the area, informing the change of tactics by the police.
“They [gangsters] selected who to attack very well and our officers realized they won’t get them since they easily disappeared after they saw the police,” the officer told a local daily.
Bungei noted that the officers posed as potential targets in bid to trap the criminals.
“Our officers were actually ambushed and ordered to drop everything. Two of the gangsters drew pistols but they were shot dead before firing at the cops in the 5am incident. Three others escaped on foot,” he added.
During the incident, police recovered two homemade pistols from the scene.
