Five suspected thugs shot dead at Dandora dumpsite

Five suspected thugs were Sunday afternoon shot dead by police in Dandora, Nairobi.

Buruburu OCPD Geoffrey Mayiek said the five were gunned down at the Dandora dumpsite where they were ambushed by police acting on a tip-off.

The OCPD said police recovered three firearms and 14 rounds of ammunition from the suspects who had been using the dumpsite as their hide out.

According to the police boss, one of the firearms was a pistol which is believed to be of a police officer in Nairobi while the other two were homemade guns.

The OCPD added that 180 rolls of bhang were also recovered from the make shift house where the suspects were hiding.

The bodies of the suspects were taken to city mortuary as police launched a hunt for one other suspect who reportedly escaped on foot having sustained a gunshot.
