At least 20 suspected gangsters have been in the past week alone shot dead by police.
A move that seems to have sparked a social media craze from the suspects’ friends and accomplices.
These killings by police have seen the accomplices come out to mourn their friends openly and also vowing to revenge their killings.
Thomas a.k.a Tomaso was allegedly trailed and killed by police after he mourned his friend Lenny another suspected gangster by putting Lenny’s picture as his Facebook profile picture.
Three suspected gangsters were killed in Nairobi’s Gigiri area while in the process of planning a robbery. The high end security around the UN offices and the American offices seemed not to have deterred the thugs from trying to rob the place in broad daylight.
On Thursday night, five suspected gangsters were shot dead in Kawangware and Kilimani areas and two guns found on them.
A section of Nairobi residents have in a rather twist hailed the move by the police action saying it is the only solution the police have to end insecurity.
The police have so far stated that they will not relent in fighting crime that are allegedly committed by these boys who are barely 20.
