It is the end of the road for a ruthless masked gang’s reign of terror in Garissa after Law Enforcement Officers arrested a 37-year-old woman, Mumeni Nguma, linked to a violent armed robbery, and recovered a Glock 17 pistol which was ripped from an assult victim.
The DCI reported that on the night of 5th August 2025, the victim, a licensed firearm holder, was heading home from a mosque in Bulla Buris when three masked thugs pounced.
One had an AK-47, another a pistol, the third a rungu.
The suspects’ head hit him, falling on the ground, unconscious.
When he regained consciousness moments later, his Glock 17 pistol and some cash had been taken.
Investigations were swiftly initiated, and forensic trails led officers straight to the suspect’s hideout in Madogo.
Cornered and under pressure, she guided officers to her house in Bula Kartasi.
“A search of the house turned up a trove of incriminating evidence, including: a Glock 17 loaded with 17 live rounds, a pistol holster, a military smoke jacket, a service-colour belt, 11 passports of different people, among other items,” Part of the DCI report reads.
The suspect was thrown into custody, and processing was initiated pending arraignment in court.
Police officers are still hunting the rest of the gang which is still on the run.
