A man who claims to be a gold dealer has been arrested for threatening to shoot a reveler at a popular restaurant in Nairobi

Chris Okeyo Obure, 36 who claims he is a gold dealer had been on the run and wanted by police for assault and misusing his gun at a popular club along Galana Road in Kilimani area, Nairobi.

He was arrested and disarmed with police saying he would face all charges he has been accused of.

Police say Obure allegedly beat and injured one Ben Alila on the eve of the New Year outside the B-Club in a scuffle during which he brandished his gun.

Obure had apparently double-parked his black Range Rover, blocking two other customers and when he was called to pave the way, he got infuriated, drew his pistol and threatened to shoot Alila and his cousin.

He then smashed the driver’s window of a silver Volkswagen Passat in the confrontation injuring Alila and his female cousin.

This was the second incident in a row in which Obure was involved in a scuffle. On November 2, 2016, he threatened to shoot one Alex Lwin at the Klub House along Ojijo Raod in Parklands but no action was taken then.
