Bishop Josphat Njoroge Gitau has decided to acquire a gun after he received a warning to desist from persuading youth to abandon the Gaza gang. The caution allegedly came few weeks ago from gang members who warned him of unspecified consequences if he continued interfering with their affairs.

The bishop reported the matter at the Kayole Police Station and has applied for a firearm certificate. Gaza is active in parts of Kayole and Njiru where it started two years ago.
