Saturday, May 2, 2026 - Police have arrested four suspected members of a dangerous gang that has been targeting online cab drivers in parts of Nairobi.
The suspects, who had reportedly been declared wanted in the
Mathare area, are said to have relocated to Maili Saba, where they rented a
house near a railway line to facilitate quick escape after carrying out their
crimes.
According to reports, the gang used a lady to lure
unsuspecting taxi drivers by requesting rides through online platforms.
The victims would then be ambushed and robbed of their
valuables at identified hotspots, including Mwengenye Bridge, Shiranga area and
parts of Maili Saba.
During the operation, two members of the gang managed to
escape, but police recovered several items from those arrested.
These include multiple SIM cards, mobile phones, motorcycle
number plates, knives and a homemade firearm believed to be capable of firing.
Authorities have launched a manhunt for the two suspects still at large as investigations continue.
