Nairobi’s Central police station boss Patrick Oduma was Friday shot by suspected Mungiki sect members, triggering a masive countrywide crackdown on the outlawed sect members.

Oduma and two other police officers were among a contigent of anti riot police who were trying to disperse rioting matatu touts at the crime prone Globe cinema roundabout when they were ambushed by thugs riding in a matatu.

Police commisioner Major General Hussein Ali said police will be ruthles in dealing with the outlawed sect members.

He said no one will be spared and the sect’s sympathizers and their financiers will face the full force of the law.

Ali said police will no longer tolerate matatu operators who attempt to stage protests in the protex of police harassment.

He said PSV licences of matatus that were impounded during the Friday protests will be cancelled and warned of similar action in the event of any demonstrations in future.
