Wednesday, June 5, 2024 - A notorious gangster that has been the nightmare of residents in the Gataka area of Ongata Rongai for leading a ring of miscreants that accosts them is recuperating at a local hospital after an encounter with a combined force of an infuriated mob and law enforcers.
In
the incident, Gataka police were on patrol along Msaba Cross Avenue when they
encountered the youthful suspect being chased like a bad demon by an irate mob
that bayed for his blood.
Intervening
to rescue the known villain who has occasionally been at
loggerheads with the law, an officer shot in the air to scare away the mob
while calling on the suspect to surrender to the police.
But
the suspect would risk neither prison nor a conversation with the team racing
fast after him, hence brandished a kitchen knife and charged toward one of the
officers who obstructed his only escape path.
The
move prompted the armed officer to aim at his leg to immobilize him and in
self-defense, thereafter whisking him away to KNH for treatment even as members
of the public begged for a pound of his flesh.
It
has since been established that having staged several robberies in Ongata
Rongai where Gataka suffered most hits, the ring would move to Kajificheni area
along Msaba Cross Avenue where they shared the proceeds before staging more
attacks.
Efforts
are underway to hunt down the rest of the ring members and locate their exact
hideout in order to make recoveries.
