A 48-year-old shopkeeper was shot in the chest by two armed men who raided his business along Nasra Road in Kayole, Nairobi, and stole his mobile phone valued at Sh90,000.
The victim, identified as Abdirahman Adan Ahmed, was attacked on Monday, November 9, at around 2.30pm when the two suspects entered his shop pretending to be customers.
According to police, the suspects subsequently drew what was believed to be a pistol and ordered Ahmed to surrender his phone.
However, they shot him in the chest before making away with his Samsung S24 smartphone.
The attackers fled towards Gate D in the Umoja area immediately after the robbery.
Police officers, including the Kayole Sub-County Police Commander, the Sub-County Criminal Investigations Officer, the Soweto duty officer and Crime Scene Investigation personnel, visited and processed the scene.
Ahmed was rushed to Komarock Modern Hospital in Utawala, where he was reported to be in stable condition.
Detectives have launched investigations and a manhunt for the two armed suspects is ongoing.
