Kenyan Police Order Gang Leader to Surrender After Homa Bay Clashes
The National Police Service has directed Kassim Abdi Sebu, alleged leader of the Hammer Boys gang, to report to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations in Homa Bay following clashes that disrupted the Linda Mwananchi tour near Kodongo.
Some media reports have linked the group to Homa Bay Governor Gladys Wanga, while the governor has denied involvement, blaming outsiders for the violence and saying local residents were defending their area.
The incident has increased political tensions in Luo Nyanza ahead of the 2027 General Election, with critics raising concerns about alleged political protection of armed groups and calling for accountability beyond individual arrests. #Homabay
