Three suspects have been arrested, and a firearm discovered following a crackdown on a group of armed thugs who have been terrorizing Nairobi residents.
According to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), the operation was launched after a thorough forensic analysis of evidence was obtained from various armed robbery scenes across Nairobi and its environs.
The incidents took place between 2023 and April 2024.
