In a video shared on Facebook by KTN, Sunday, a number of reformed gangsters narrated their past lives that were full of chillings and scaring scenes.

Former gang leader Fredrick Omondi aka Ambani said that they could target public service vehicles (PSVs) in their missions where they would pose as normal passengers and board a matatu before hijacking it. 

"We could the remove their clothes, you know when one is naked there is no way he/she can think of coming after you when you steal from him or her...we could then burn the clothes and maybe use few which were good. (Hao watu tunawatoa nguo, unajua tukisha toa kila mtu nguo kuna venye mtu hatakufuata... nguo mbaya mbaya unatupa kwa moto ama ile nzuri unaeza ukavaa)," said Ambani in part of the revelations.

The group is now involving themselves in voluntary cleaning services within Nairobi's slams but are still broke.
