Kenya gangsters rob motorists on Ngong Rd as militants take over Westgate

By CATE MUKEI

Two cars were carjacked on Ngong Road last weekend during the Westgate siege.

Motorists on Ngong Road had a rough time on Sunday after carjackers attacked them as early as at 3pm stealing two cars between Lenana and Karen.

Motorists also complained about a young woman with a child pretending to be stranded who was working for the gangsters. When motorists stopped, the gunmen pounced on them from nearby bushes.  According to Kilimani police boss Peter Kattam, such cases are yet to be reported.

“We do not have such reports yet although they could have reported the incidents in police stations in other areas,” Kattam told The Nairobian.

 Earlier on, a bus was taken hostage on Ngong Road near Adams Arcade by six men posing as passengers. They diverted it into a forest near Kibera slums where they robbed passengers before abandoning the bus said police.
