According to the flying squad head Musa Yego, the 7 suspects were found with three homemade guns and a Berretta pistol that was used to raid a home they believed to have money and gold.

"The officers recovered four guns the suspects were going to use to rob a private residence." said the head of flying squad.

Immediate neighbors to the home said they heard several shots before everything went completely silent.

“We later learned some people had been killed as they tried to get into a home for a robbery mission,” said a resident.

The Special Crimes Prevention Unit (S.C.P.U) police paraded the neighbourhood in order to make sure that no suspect was still alive to threaten the homesteads security.
