Sunday, November 9,
2025 - In a well-coordinated raid, a team of detectives drawn from Nairobi
and Kiambu have arrested three individuals behind a daring gang that has been
terrorising wine and spirits shop owners across the city and its outskirts.
The
thugs, who operated with military precision, were finally cornered after days
of intense surveillance and coordinated intelligence work.
Following
a tip-off, the team of detectives struck in Ngara, pouncing on two key
suspects: Edward Muchiri Mureithi, aka Kazee, and Stephen Mwenda Ndung’u, aka
Stevoo.
The
notorious duo, noted for their violent night raids, attempted to outrun the
police dragnet but were no match for the sleuths.
They
abandoned a black Toyota Harrier, registration number KDS 791A, in a confused
escape, which detectives seized as crucial evidence to aid the ongoing probe.
Not
letting up, detectives proceeded to Njiru Makongeni, where another suspect,
Martin Ndung'u Wangui, fell into their trap.
A
black Toyota Noah (KCY 982C), believed to have been used to ferry stolen
liquor, was recovered at the scene; its seats still smelled of freshly spilt
alcohol.
The
operation then shifted to Mugutha, Ruiru, the suspected hideout of the gang's
mastermind, Peter Muhia Njenga, who is still at large.
Armed
with a search warrant, detectives stormed his compound and made the following
recoveries: two car seats ripped out of the seized Noah, a number plate (KCV
342G), break-in tools, several mobile phones, and a hoodie identical to the one
seen on CCTV footage from a recent robbery.
Scattered
all over the compound were empty cartons of expensive liquor, evidence of the
gang's heavy looting spree.
Detectives
also recovered a herd of 25 bulls, suspected to be stolen and hidden at
Njenga’s second residence in Njiru, awaiting sale.
The
animals have since been escorted to Ruai Police Station as efforts to trace
their owners intensify.
Meanwhile, detectives have heightened the manhunt for Njenga, believed to be the kingpin behind the violent robbery ring.
