End of The Road: Nairobi’s Notorious Katobi Gang Members Killed

[ad_1]

Barely two weeks after the newly installed leader of the infamous Katombi gang was gunned down, the outfit was dealt the final blow Tuesday night, after Fadhili Mgaza’s successor died in a hail of gunfire.

In a bid to camouflage from our hawk-eyed police, the notorious outfit that has suffered heavy casualties in recent days had rebranded to ‘Yeyoye’ gang and promoted one thug only known as Jakande Kabede alias Kababa, as its de facto leader.

On the fateful night, two remnants of the gang had staged an attack at Bondeni in Mathare, and maimed innocent civilians who were walking home as they robbed them of their valuables at gun point.

Pangani-based officers who received a tip-off on the thugs activities rushed to the scene, on time to find the two who had cornered a middle aged woman and were busy ransacking her handbag.

The Corporal leading the operation ordered the two to surrender, but instead one of the thugs fired at him missing his left shoulder by inches. What followed was a fierce exchange of fire.

When the guns went silent, Kababa who had concealed his identity using a balaclava lay motionless on the ground, as his accomplice the only surviving member of the gang staged a narrow escape deep into the settlement’s dark alleys.

The operation completely annihilated one of the city’s notorious criminal gangs, that had terrorized residents of Mathare, Pangani and Huruma estates.
