Four suspects identified as Shadrack Kimanzi, alias Kabaridi; Jackton Masinga, alias Cartel; Ephantus Njoroge; and Titus Teddy were arrested in the June 1st 2025 during the intelligence-led operation by officers drawn from Kibera Police Station.
According to DCI report the suspected criminals were flushed out of their hideout in Kibera Line Saba area following a well-coordinated operation.

The suspect are now under police custody as they wait to be arraigned in court.

This insecurity has affected small-scale economic activities as residents continue to live in fear.
