A dreaded gang going by the name ‘chafua’ is behind recent spate of robbery and violent attacks near the Liwatoni floating Bridge in Likoni, Mombasa.

Likoni police boss Jectone Opengo said some members of the gang, who had been terrorising residents and boda boda operators, had been arrested and arraigned.

“We have crucial leads and we are hunting them down. We arrested some in the past and after being taken to court they are now out on bond,” said Mr Opengo.
