Police have gunned down two suspected armed robbers in a fierce shootout in Kabete, Kiambu County.
According to the Directorate of Criminal Investigation, four armed men had taken hostage a 57-year-old pastor of a Kabete Anglican Church last night.
The clergyman John Dinguri Chege, was hijacked at 8pm by four armed men, as he drove home in his vehicle, a white Nissan Advan.
“After taking control of the vehicle, the gangsters commandeered it towards Kiamumbi, in Kiambu county. When Police officers got wind of the incident, they immediately pursued the suspects while a separate team laid an ambush along Kamiti road,” stated DCI.
To rescue the man of the cloth from the jaws of the bloodthirsty gang, the police executed a plan where the vehicle was intercepted some metres past Jacaranda.
According to the DCI, the suspects were ordered to surrender but they defied the orders prompting a fierce shootout that left two of the thugs dead.
Two other suspects disappeared in the dead of the night with gunshot wounds, leaving the badly shaken Church Minister in the safety of our officers.
The police have recovered a smith and wesson pistol loaded with two rounds of 9mm calibre and a knife.
The police have launched a manhunt for the two suspects who disappeared.
