“Mweshimiwa Rais William Ruto hawa wezi wamabavu wakutumia bunduki wamerudi. Kazi yao nikuumiza mpaka wafanyi biashara wadogo na wakubwa mitaani. Kama hii hata nimekutumia kwa whtsaap nikatumia pia waziri Kindiki na pia Bwana Amin mkuu wa DCI ni ya jana pale Bamburi Mombasa. Peana amri chini ya maji wanyoroshwe kama wale mabandits,” Sonko tweeted.
The former county boss at the same time offered to give ten thousand shilling to any Mombasa local with information that would lead to the arrest of the robbers.
“Wananchi wa Bamburi Mombasani yoyote mwenye kujua hawa wezi anipatie report ama apeane taarifa kwa kituo cha polisi kilicho karibu na yeye na atapata 100,000/=,” Sonko added.

A video of the daring robbers stealing from an MPesa shop has since gone viral on social media.
The video begins by showing two men entering a shop whose attendant is seated serving one of the two men who disguised himself as a customer seeking to withdraw money.
The first man pretends he is withdrawing money, seemingly, while the second one who is behind pulls out a gun appearing to be an AK47.
The shop attendant then follows their orders and gives them money from a drawer. One of the suspects continues to interrogate her asking how much is it but the woman maintains that is all she had. The video shows the robbers leaving the shop.
