Fear of sharp rise in number of homemade guns in Nairobi

They are very rudimentary but effective weapons being used to commit crimes. We believe they are being made by some welders who might have an idea of how a gun operates. -Flying Squad boss Said Kiprono

Police in Nairobi are concerned with the rising use of homemade guns by criminals committing violent crimes.

For the last three months, police have recovered at least 10 homemade guns capable of firing from suspected robbers in Eastlands, Riruta and Kikuyu areas.
