All you need to know about Police officers publicly executing 2 young boys in Nairobis Eastleigh (Graphic Video)
KENYA: Police officers have been caught on camera publicly executing two young boys suspected of being notorious robbers in Eastleigh area of Nairobi.
However, Police have dismissed a viral video depicting the alleged extrajudicial killing of two suspects in Eastleigh.
The minute-long clip that surfaced on Friday shows a person alleged to be a police in plain clothes apprehending a suspect. The body of another suspect covered in blood lies in the middle of the road.
Another man in police uniform holding what looks like an AK-47 rifle is seen dispersing the crowd.
When the suspect tries to struggle with the alleged plain clothes officer, he is shot at close range.
Four more gunshots are heard as the camera moves away.
When the camera focuses back on the scene, the man is seen standing over the suspect. He asks a colleague for a pistol, then shoots the suspect below him. Five gunshots are heard.
The man, thought to be a cop, reloads the gun, then shoots the suspect who is still lying on his stomach.
It is unclear when the alleged incident happened. But it is said that the dead suspects are members of the notorious Super Power Gang and were about to commit a robbery.
The two had uploaded photos on social media posing in a house with wads of cash strewn across the room that they were in.
When contacted for comment, Nairobi Police Commander Japheth Koome told the Star on Saturday that the video "was acted".
"It is not true it was acted. It is not true, it did not happen. Imepigwa picha sehemu moja tu (It was only shot in one place). It is not true," Koome said.
Koome said the video acted was meant to discourage him from making sure people are safe in the country.
"Whether those people act to discourage me ... I am even more motivated and i have no regret," Koome said.
Koome said he will be ruthless to the "criminals" and asked them to surrender guns.
"I am ruthless. I do not talk much but I am ruthless ... but one thing everybody needs to know is that I will deal with the criminals," he said.
"We will not going to give the criminals any chance ... I am currently burying a cop killed by a gangster in Meru."
