Fed up city residents are now taking the bull by the horn following claims that rogue officers have been using Facebook to trail and kill youth.
Taking their anger to town hall meetings in Kayole, attended by the state prosecutor, top police officers and human rights activists, the citizens narrated how the officers allegedly trail the youth online for a week, murder them and post their dead bodies on social media.
"They profile them on Facebook, after one week or a month they shoot them, and put pictures of their dead bodies on Facebook," narrated a woman identified as Wilfred Olal from the Dandora Community Justice Centre.
The Star reported that the officers take between a week and a month to execute their targets and that the diseased reportedly range between the ages of 15 and 24.
"I have lost two husbands in one year," revealed another woman during a meeting hosted at a town hall in Kayole area.
Kayole residents further pinpointed, according to reports, that the officers posted close-up snapshots revealing the head and face of the diseased that has been split by a bullet.
They further claimed that the shots often come with threats that more people, who they refer to as gangsters, will be murdered and paraded on the social platform.
A research quoted by the paper and carried out by Duncan Omanga, indicated that an average of 10 suspected gangsters get killed and six others get profiled on a hidden Facebook group called Nairobi Crime Free.
The group contains more than 300,000 members.
