Another female gangster has been shot dead in Nairobi barely three weeks after a young woman who had been christened 'Nairobi's prettiest thug' was gunned down in Kayole and later buried in Murang'a County.
The unidentified female thug, who is believed to have been a close ally to Claire Njoki Kibia, was shot dead yesterday afternoon in Kayole.
She was reportedly in the company of a man when they were ambushed by police and refused to surrender.

According to reports, they retaliated by shooting at police through the door, which prompted a gun drama that led to the death of the two.
Police were acting on a tip-off by members of the public after word went round that the two suspects were at a house in Patanisho area.
An automatic pistol marked in Arabic was recovered with five rounds of ammunition.
This comes just a few weeks after Claire was gunned down along Kangundo road after a fierce gunfire exchange with police.
Her burial was marred by a variety of strange occurrences after plain-clothed police showed up at her village and arrested a number of people that would aid them with more information regarding the gangs terrorising residents in Nairobi.
She was hurriedly buried as mourners sought to leave her graveyard immediately.
Criminal gangs in Nairobi are said to use women to carry their firearms as they are rarely suspected and can carry all sorts of weapons in their clothes without being detected.
