A Kangundo based businessman was rushed to Kangundo District hospital after he was attacked by an armed gang in Kithini town, Kangundo sub-county.
Confirming the Monday morning incident, Kangundo police OCS Morris Okul stated the victim was attacked at 6 a.m as he was opening his business.
"The man was attacked in the morning as he was opening his premises by a gang of two men who shot him at close range and escaped through the forest nearby," said Okul.
The police boss further confirmed that the culprits escaped with mobile phones and a total of Sh50,000.
However, he called upon residents to be cautious of any suspicious persons in their areas as the victim was attacked at a very close range by suspects who were following and tracking him down.
The Kangundo police officers have launched investigations into the attack and are already persuing the criminals.
