Gaza gang, long associated with crime in Eastlands, Nairobi, now seems to be spreading its arms  to neigbouring counties of Kiambu, Nakuru and Muranga.

From its initial ‘Home base’ in Dandora and Kayole Estates, the group has spread to Mathare and Umoja Estates in Eastlands, and to Kasarani, Santon area, Mwiki and Kahawa area in the outskirts of Nairobi.

Security agencies have placed surveillance on some of the gang’s cells operating in Naivasha, Limuru, Kiambu and Murang’a towns.

According to Saigon Purnisher, a Nairobi based faceless crime buster, Gaza members are seeking safe havens outside Nairobi to evade police dragnets.

Saigon Purnisher operates like the famous Hessy wa Kayole, sending out warnings via Facebook to members of the outlawed gang before some are found dead days later.

In his latest post, he asked parents to report their children who have been recruited to the Gaza gang to the nearest police station.

“Nai kumekuwa kumoto hadi hizi kunguni zikahamia maeneo kama Murang’a, Limuru, Naivasha, Kiambu mine is just a simple warning to them, turn away from crime na tutaelewana and don’t be deceived that hauwezipatikana na mkitaka kujua we are more serious watch the space,” read the post.

Members of the Gaza gang have an infamous reputation of being ruthless with their victims during robberies. They are armed with knives and guns and routinely kill their victims, including those who submit to all their demands.

Asked why he thinks the gang is spreading out into neighbouring counties, the source said it is the first significant indication that police are overwhelming the gang.

“The reason that made me change my ways for the better is the fact that police were killing almost everyone close to me. I started fearing that I could be next,” he said.

“When they even started using Facebook and sharing images that we take while we are alone, I started seeing that our days are numbered,” he added.
