In a bid to face out the gang and put its members where they belong, Coast region detectives joined the Headquarters squad in the day-long intelligence-led operation, culminating in the arrest of Shaban Munga Ali, 26, Sande Kalama Kitsao, 24 and Shebani Charo Kalume, 34.
The first two suspects ( Munga and Kalama) were nabbed at Mwatamba 2 stage in Kiembeni while Charo Kalume was arrested within Kadzandani while in possession of a knife and two face masks.” said DCI
The suspects are currently undergoing interrogation before they are taken to court as operations continue to round up many other members.
