Security Chiefs Issue Stern Warning to Criminal Gang Terrorising Homa Bay Residents
Security chiefs in Homa Bay have issued a firm warning to a notorious criminal gang that has been terrorising residents of Kobala and Ringa locations, vowing to dismantle the network within days. The gang, which is believed to be behind a recent spate of violent robberies, including the killing of a 70-year-old guard, has been given a 48-hour ultimatum to surrender or face the full force of the law.
The warning was delivered by Homa Bay County Commissioner Moses Lilan, who stated that a major security operation involving multi-agency teams is already underway. Their time is up. We know who they are, we know their hideouts, and we are coming for them. They have two choices: surrender or we smoke them out, Lilan declared. The operation aims to apprehend the gang members responsible for a series of home invasions, armed robberies, and assaults that have left the community living in fear.
The ultimatum follows intensive intelligence gathering and public tip-offs, which have helped security agencies profile the gang’s activities and identify its ringleaders. Police have urged parents and community elders to prevail upon their youth involved in the gang to surrender, warning that those who harbour the criminals will also be treated as suspects.
The decisive stance from the security team has been met with a sense of relief by residents, who have endured weeks of anxiety. However, many remain cautiously optimistic, awaiting tangible results from the promised crackdown. The success of this operation is seen as a critical test for the county’s security apparatus, with its outcome likely to determine the level of public confidence in the government’s ability to restore lasting peace and security in the region.
