#BBCAfricaEye joins controversial officer Ahmed Rashid as he seeks to rid the streets of gangsters and criminals. For the first time, cameras are allowed to follow his team in action in the Somali neighbourhood of Eastleigh, Nairobi.

  1. Have just watched a documentary about the gang called Gaza that terrorized everyone, killing cops and taking their guns. Thats was around 2015-2019. I understand why the cops did what they had to do.

  2. somaalidu waa cabsataa ma xishootoh markaa qofka dadka wada ku joojin oo mindida iyo hubka kubaaran dhib uma aragtoh bbc lakiin ahmed rashiid bay dhaliisha usaarin waxii umada dhibah in ladiloh ayaa fiican si umada nabad ugu noolaatoh

  3. The guy in a suit talking about justice in a system like this just shows how far fetched his ideologies are, in his gated community estate he'll never experience instances that rob you off your dignity!
