Six suspected gangsters were shot and killed in Dandora, Nairobi County, early Sunday morning in connection to an attack on a boda boda rider whose passenger was raped several times.
A police report from Dandora Police Station states that the rider and passenger were ambushed on their way from Riverside to Lucky Summer at about 2.30am.
ROBBERY, RAPE
Police said the two were attacked by a gang of men armed with pistols.
“They robbed them at gunpoint, of properties that included the motorcycle registration KMEL 650 F, mobile phones, a handbag and cash,” the report stated.
“After the robbery, they blindfolded the rider and gang-raped the woman before escaping.”
Following a report of the incident at the station, police traced the motorcycle to Gitwamba in Dandora using a gadget that had been fitted on it. They encountered the suspected gangsters and a shootout ensued.
“The motorcycle and fallen gangsters have been positively identified by one of the victims,” the report stated.

The woman was taken to MSF Hospital.
