Two members of the crushed ‘Mbogi la Izram Territory’ criminal gang have been arrested as detectives step up their ongoing crackdown on criminal gangs in Kakamega and Western Kenya.
In a statement on Sunday, November 27, the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) said Omar Juma, 35, and Clinton Emonye, 21, were arrested near Julika Petrol Station in Kakamega town on Saturday as they prepared to commit a felony.
“The duo who were armed with crude weapons including metal cutters and sharp metal rods led detectives to their house at Kakoi corner close to Kabras market, where assorted electronic and household goods suspected to have been stolen were recovered,” the DCI said.
They are currently being held at Kakamega Police station pending arraignment in court tomorrow morning.
Meanwhile, a comprehensive security crackdown is currently ongoing in Western Kenya and parts of Nyanza to wipe out criminal gangs that have threatened the public safety and security of locals.
