A member of Nyumba Kumi leadership in Mukuru slums, Nairobi, was killed by a gang that was on a revenge mission in a war on drug trafficking and consumption. Locals told police the man was attacked by a gang that was revenging an earlier operation in the area that saw a suspected drugs den destroyed. Nairobi police boss Adamson Bungei said the gang escaped towards Mukuru Kwa Reuben area after the incident. The area chief had earlier on led other members of Nyumba Kumi in demolishing structures they claimed were used in selling drugs and suspected stolen goods. Nyumba Kumi leadership is usually used to address various crimes and issues in such informal settlements.
