Three suspected thugs were Sunday morning shot dead and three pistols recovered from them in a botched robbery in Kayole, Nairobi.
This increases to ten the number of suspects so far killed in Nairobi in the past three days in the war on armed robbery. Sunday, police said they recovered three guns including a Ceska that had been robbed from a DCI officer in Huruma last month in a robbery.
In the Kayole shootout, a police officer was shot and wounded in the hand, police said.
According to Nairobi Area police commander Japheth Koome, the suspects had apparently attacked and robbed pedestrians and motorists in Mowlem area, Dandora when police were alerted.
A hunt on the men who were using a stolen car was launched before they were spotted in Kayole.
Koome said an inspector who was leading the operation was shot in the arm and wounded. He is admitted in hospital in stable condition.
“The gang has been behind a series of robberies in the city. They had last month robbed an officer of his gun in a robbery in Huruma area. We recovered it,” said Koome. The bodies were moved to the mortuary after the 3 am incident.
