Five suspected thugs have been killed in Nairobi since last night in the war on armed robberies in the city. Police say they recovered weapons from the slain men.

The first incident happened this morning where a lone gunman who was hungry went to a chips café in Umoja estate and demanded food and as it was being packed he produced a gun also demanding cash.

One of the attendants there wrestled him but the gunman managed to shoot him in the leg. This attracted police attention who pursued him and managed to shoot him dead few meters away.

Another suspect was killed in Shauri Moyo area, Dandora, Waiyaki Way and Buruburu shopping centre. They were all involved in armed robberies. This increases to more than 20, the number of suspects so far killed in a week in Nairobi.

Elsewhere , a five year old boy is nursing wounds after he was shot and wounded in a shooting incident in Shauri Moyo area, Nairobi. During the shooting incident, one suspect was killed by police and a gun found on him.

Police say a gang of four had been terrorizing locals when an alarm was raised prompting a chase. This led to a shooting incident that left a boy who was outside their house with a wound in the shoulder.

Police say they are investigating to establish if the bullet was from one of them or the slain thug but locals say it is the officers’ that hit the boy.
