“Inasmuch as they’re young, the gangsters seem to be so brazen, and they have informers,” the detective said. On April 3, three gangsters identified as Godfrey Ogola, Joseph Mwai and Reuben Mburu Chege hired a bodaboda from Kibera, where they reside, to Githurai Mwihoko and Kimbo. Armed with a Ceska pistol and 10 bullets, the gangsters hijacked a car in Githurai Mwihoko and kidnapped the owner identified as Mr Anthony Wahome. As this was happening, one of the robbers had left his phone charging inside the first car that they had hijacked in Githurai. The detectives also raided Ogola’s house in Lindi within Kibera, where they recovered 80 rounds of ammunition and a Smith and Wesson revolver.
