Police in Nakuru are holding in custody 78 more people linked to notorious gangs that have been causing terror in the city in recent weeks.

Confirming the development, Nakuru County Commissioner Loyford Kibaara said among those in custody is a suspected gang leader of Mauki gang, a group police are associating with the Confirm gang, an infamous online fraud group.

Kibaara said the suspected kingpin will face charge, including being a member of an outlawed group, as well as being in possession of crude weapons with the intention to commit a felony.

The weapons, which were displayed at Kaptembwo Police Station, included machetes, knive, blunt metal objects, bows and arrows, hammers and electric Taser, among others.

These arrests follow what the Administrator termed as a change of leadership at the Kaptembwo Police Station.
