Sunday, September 13, 2026 - A shop attendant is fighting for his life in the Intensive Care Unit at Kenyatta University Referral Hospital after being shot during a daring morning robbery at an M-Pesa and gas outlet in Membley, Ruiru.
The
robbery unfolded after two armed and masked men raided the business at Favour
Business Centre at around 7:30 a.m. on Friday.
They
confronted two attendants at gunpoint before making away with more than Ksh
600,000.
CCTV
footage captured the two suspects walking into the M-Pesa shop before drawing
their pistols and ordering the attendants to surrender the cash.
The
robbery lasted less than five minutes but turned bloody when attendants and
locals pursued the suspects as they fled towards Kamae Estate on a motorcycle.
The
gang reportedly opened fire at the pursuing crowd, firing nearly 10 rounds.
Two
bullets struck male attendant Jackson Maina in the chest and ribs.
Maina
collapsed and was rushed to Kenyatta University Referral Hospital, where he
remains in the ICU.
Residents
have also raised questions over the police response, claiming that an officer
from Kahawa West arrived at the scene and collected spent cartridges, while
officers at Membley Police Station did not have an operational vehicle.
Investigators are reportedly examining possible links between the robbery and rogue police officers as the probe into the daring attack continues.
