Security Chiefs Put Gangs Terrorising Siaya Residents on Notice
Security authorities in Siaya have issued a stern warning to criminal gangs terrorizing residents, vowing to launch a ruthless operation to flush them out and restore order. The ultimatum was delivered by Siaya County Commissioner Jim Njoka, who chairs the County Security Committee, in response to a recent wave of violent robberies and assaults that have instilled fear among the local population. The gangs, often armed with crude weapons, have been brazenly attacking homes and businesses, especially at night.
The County Commissioner revealed that the multi-agency security team has already gathered crucial intelligence on the identities and hideouts of the most notorious gang members operating in the area’s hotspots. He declared that the period for gangsters to voluntarily surrender is over, signaling an imminent, forceful crackdown. The security team is finalizing plans for the operation, which will involve heightened patrols, targeted raids, and a concerted effort to dismantle the criminal networks.
Residents have been urged to cooperate with the police by providing timely information on suspicious activities and the whereabouts of known criminals. Commissioner Njoka assured the public of their confidentiality and protection, emphasizing that community partnership is vital for the operation’s success. The security team’s announcement aims to reassure the public of their safety and send a clear message to the criminals that their reign of terror is about to meet a decisive and forceful end.
