DCI agents gunned down a suspected thug who was robbing Nairobi locals their valuables at gun point in the wee hours of Sunday morning.
Two of his colleagues however managed to flee the scene with gunshot wounds.
The deceased could not be identified immediately as he had no identification documents with him.
“In the wee hours today morning, detectives received a distress call through our #FichuakwaDCI hotline, that a marauding gang had staged a robbery in Harmony area, where they were attacking innocent residents with reckless abandon. The call was actioned to our Dandora based sleuths who responded on time, just as the thugs were attacking a woman who was headed home,” DCI report reads.
The thugs opened fire towards officers who were fast advancing as they fled the scene. But the officers’ response was fierce and precise, leaving the brave suspect fatally wounded.
“His cowardly accomplices, who will live to tell the story of how their master lost his life after challenging law enforcement agents to a duel, dived into a sewer channel and swum through the sludge towards Njiru,” DCI said.
The woman who was attacked by the thugs was escorted home by the officers. Luckily, she did not suffer any injuries.
The scene was visited by top DCI & police commanders from Buruburu police division and was processed by crime scene detectives.
Detectives are currently pursuing the other two suspect.
