The Sunday Standard has established that the cases the four and their accomplices were facing included theft from parked vehicles in Mombasa, Taita Taveta and Kilifi counties. The offences were committed between 2016 and 2018, court documents show.

Oduor and Obuong were arrested alongside businessmen Chege Gitau and James Mwangi Munyao. Gitau was killed in 2017 as he waited for the gate to his home in Tudor, Mombasa County, to be opened.

Chege, 34, was killed on September 18, 2017 after five men accosted him and sprayed his car with bullets.


A neighbour claimed Chege was speaking on his cellphone about some payment before gunshots rented the air. They checked minutes later after scampering for safety and Chege lay dead, in a pool of blood.

Chege was well known by his neighbours, having been arrested, arraigned and his story widely covered by the press over his links to criminals whom police blamed for a spate of robberies that rocked the Coast region.

On July 9, 2017, Chege was arrested for stealing goods worth millions of shillings, police and court records show. He was captured as he offloaded the goods from a container in his compound in Tudor.


Police said the goods, then estimated to be worth Sh23,425,000, were stolen from containers at an inland deport.


Chege was killed barely a month after he was charged and released on Sh100,000 bond by a Mombasa magistrate’s court.


When the justice system is so corrupt that thugs can be caught red-handed and walk out the next day, people (and cops?) begin to solve the problem the primitive way.
