The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has identified seven Nairobi estates as hotspots for the radicalisation of teenagers into criminal gangs following the gang-related killing of a 15-year-old.

• Among the flagged estates are Umoja I, II, and III, Tena, Innercore, Kariobangi, and Kayole.
• The arrested suspects formed rival groups with names like Chinje, Mbogi, Bad Bunny, and Silent.
