BBC unmasks the faces of Nairobi killer cops – Pangani 6 group of Hessy

On March 31st 2017, a plainclothes police officer was caught on camera shooting dead a gangster in Eastleigh in broad daylight as people watched in horror.

The killer policeman was identified as Ahmed Rashid and he is part of a ruthless police squad dubbed ‘Pangani 6’ which is tasked with curbing crime around Eastleigh.

BBC documentary sheds light on the inner working of Pangani 6. The police squad has been fighting the infamous super power gang that mostly operates in Eastleigh.

Avenged friend’s death

The killer cop Ahmed Rashid tells BBC journalist that he pumped several bullets into the suspects body (who was killed in broad daylight last year) because he was avenging his friend’s death.

Ahmed Rashid reveals that the suspect had killed his colleague Abdi Aziz and went on to wear his police jacket, a thing that made the killer cop think the teenage gangster was boasting about killing a cop.

BBC followed the Pangani 6 around as they documented how they usually operate. Watch the full documentary in the video below:
