The gang is seen attacking a woman as she made her way into her residence along Gataka Road at 2 am in the morning. They follow her into the compound, destroy her vehicle and then lead her into her home.
Armed with machetes and guns, the thugs ransack her home. Reports indicate that after leaving her home, they withdrew money in her name in Mwiki, Kasarani Constituency.
On Monday, Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i visited the area accompanied by the Inspector General of Police Hillary Mutyambai and the head of the DCI’s Special Services Unit (SSU) Pius Gitari.
The trio assured locals that necessary action will be taken and those found culpable will face the law.
