Scars of the gangs: Inside the Criminal Underworld of Nairobi’s Eastlands


Youth leader, Samir Oloo during an interview with Nation in Kayole, Nairobi on September 4, 2020.

Teenage gangs that idolise hardcore criminals have taken over State functions from the authorities; they control the streets and alleys.
