City crime guns ‘from Ethiopia’

By HUDSON GUMBIHI

A man has admitted to the police that he has been buying guns from Ethiopia and selling them at Lunga Lunga estate.

Aden Ali Huka was arrested on May 21 following a raid in his house and an Ecol Tuna pistol recovered.

For two months, the police have been monitoring him after being tipped off that he dealt with guns.

After being held by the police, Huka confessed that he buys the pistols from Ethiopia at Sh30,000 each before selling them to criminal gangs in the city at Sh50,000.

The suspect has previously evaded dragnets after police failed to get any incriminating evidence against the 38-year-old man. “We have been suspecting him for a while. He admitted he deals with firearms, which he buys from Ethiopia. We are handing him over to the CID for further interrogation and investigations,” Lunga Lunga AP Commander Alphonce Mulinge Mulinge told The Nairobian.
