The officers were responding to a midnight distress call after a night guard raised alarm calling them to intervene a robbery at Ngong Court in Buruburu Phase 5.

“Officers [acted] on a tip-off from a watchman that there were three young men riding on a motorcycle and robbing members of the public. The officers confronted them and challenged them to stop and surrender, but they defied [the orders] and opened fire,” police said as quoted by the Nation.

According to police reports, a homemade pistol with two rounds of ammunition and a revolver with three bullets were found at the scene.

Two mobile phones were also recovered from the dead suspects.
