Sunday, March 22, 2026 - On the evening of 21st March 2026 at approximately 5:50 pm, officers from the Nairobi North Sub-Region, while on routine foot patrol along the busy Jubilee Flyover on Wangari Maathai Road, received credible information from a member of the public regarding armed robbers in the Makaburini area.
The information indicated that three armed suspects, one
armed with a pistol and the others with crude weapons, were actively robbing
members of the public.
Acting swiftly, the officers moved discreetly toward the
area, blending in with civilian traffic.
Shortly after, the three suspects emerged from nearby
bushland and launched an attack on one of the officers.
The main suspect drew and pointed a pistol at the officers,
posing an immediate threat to life.
In line with lawful self-defence and to protect members of
the public, the officers responded with gunfire, fatally injuring one suspect
at the scene.
The other two suspects, who are believed to have sustained
gunshot wounds, escaped into nearby vegetation.
A search of the scene led to the recovery of a Blow Mini 9
pistol, a magazine loaded with two (2) rounds of 9mm ammunition, one (1)
chambered round, and two (2) additional 9mm rounds recovered from the deceased
suspect’s right trouser pocket.
Officers from Starehe and Gigiri Sub-Counties, alongside
Scenes of Crime personnel, processed the scene.
The body was moved to City Mortuary pending identification
and post-mortem examination.
The DCI continues to pursue the two fleeing suspects who are believed to have been injured.
