Law enforcement officers in Endebess Sub-County have arrested six suspected members of a notorious criminal gang believed to have been terrorizing residents in several parts of the region.

In a joint operation, police dismantled the gang popularly known as the “Kapenguria Six,” whose members have allegedly been involved in a series of criminal activities across Kaisheber, Nabeki, Cherubai, and neighboring areas. The suspects were identified as Juma Wanjala, Samson Kapolon Ewoi, Thomas Esakon Lorongoi, Linus Wekesa Wasilwa, Moses Kisuya Wekesa, and Ezra Simiyu Nyongesa.
