According to the Nyakundi Report, fear has quietly taken over life in Kilimani. Residents now live with constant worry, choosing to lock their doors early and avoid unnecessary movement, especially at night. Many no longer feel safe speaking openly, even to the police.
At the center of this fear is a criminal group locals refer to as the Kilimani Gang. Residents say the group has grown bold, carrying out break-ins openly and then walking free without consequences.
What troubles the community most is the belief that the gang survives not because the law is weak, but because powerful people protect it.
People living in Kilimani describe a pattern that has become familiar. Crimes happen, reports are made, evidence is collected, and then everything suddenly stops.
The gang is said to plan its actions carefully and use people who already work within the estates. This makes it easy for them to move around without raising suspicion. Fear also plays a big role.
Those who know something are scared to speak because they believe the gang has backing from a powerful politician who can block justice.
The events at Sohail Court during the Christmas period exposed how the network allegedly works. Residents say an attempted break-in involved several people who knew the estate well.
A security guard from Sky Patrol is said to have coordinated the plan.
A carpenter who often does small jobs within the court was allegedly involved. A boda boda rider helped with transport, while other workers linked to the estate management are said to have offered support.
The suspects moved with confidence, believing they would not face arrest.
After the incident, residents reported the matter at Kilimani Police Station. The security guard was arrested, and CCTV cameras captured clear images of the suspects.
At that point, many believed justice would follow. Instead, the case went quiet. The guard was later released, investigations slowed down, and witnesses stopped receiving calls from officers.
Meetings with management were avoided, and officials refused to speak openly about the matter.
Residents say this silence came after a prominent politician allegedly intervened. They believe influence replaced normal police procedure. The result was a deep sense of betrayal and fear.
People began to believe that the law no longer protects them, and that power matters more than evidence.
Those who have seen the CCTV footage say it clearly shows faces, movements, and coordination among the suspects. Despite this, no further arrests were made. The carpenter who is said to be involved still moves freely around the area.
Some residents claim he openly boasts about his connections and says no one can touch him. This attitude has shaken the community and increased fear among families.
Questions have also been raised about the role of security companies and estate management.
Residents want to know how a guard could be involved in crime and why no internal investigations have been made public. So far, there have been no clear answers.
Kilimani Police Station has faced criticism from residents who feel abandoned. While police deny interference, the lack of action has fueled anger and mistrust.
No updates have been shared, and witnesses say they feel unprotected.
Residents are now calling for accountability. They want the case reopened, CCTV evidence reviewed independently, and any political interference investigated.
