Friday, September 5, 2025 - Security agencies in Malindi scored a major victory against organised crime after arresting a feared gang leader, Abdalla Matano Abdalla, popularly known as Dalla.

Dalla’s arrest led detectives to the NAT and Kwa Famau areas of Maweni, where seven of his top accomplices were cornered and arrested.

They were identified as: Cosmos Kesi Kalama (alias Bweko), Erick Alex Lewa (alias Generali), Edwin Ondiro Onyonyi (alias Last), Simon Alex Kalama (alias Desai), Joseph Masha (alias Thee), Moses Kwicha Mzee (alias Timoteo), and Salim Ali Safari (alias Mzukulu)

All eight suspects are known members of the dreaded gang Team Nati Dread, which has for years instilled fear in residents of Malindi through violent robberies and extortion.

In their latest crime spree, Generali suffered a gruesome fate when his wrist was chopped off during a botched robbery attempt.

His severed hand is currently preserved at the Malindi Sub-County Hospital Mortuary.

Police confirmed the suspects are in custody and undergoing profiling and processing ahead of their arraignment in court.

The National Police Service reiterated its commitment to dismantling criminal gangs, assuring Kenyans that sustained crackdowns will continue across the country to protect lives and property.
