Only State should tackle insecurity, not mobs, vigilantes

Sometimes people are immortalised in the news for all the wrong reasons, and Felix Nyangaga Otuko is one such. Reason? He barricaded himself with his wife and innocent eight-month-old daughter in a three-storey flat and engaged police in a night-long gun battle in a built-up, crowded city neighbourhood.

Sadly, he won’t be there to speak for himself as he one of the terror suspects who lived by the gun and grenade and died by the same. However, not before leaving his wife as a casualty and six police officers injured on Sunday morning during an operation in Nairobi’s Githurai Estate.
