A one month ultimatum has been issued to Wakali Kwanza and Wakali Wao gang members to surrender.

Mombasa county commissioner Evans Achoki said they have obtained a list of some of the gang leaders whereby some of them are operating in Kisauni.

"Those members will face the law, if they fail to come surrender." Achoki said.

The two gangs are behind mugging and violent robberies in Kisauni and are to blame for the crimes in that area.

They walk in groups of about 10-15 members, wielding knives and pangas.

Achoki also noted that they've managed to contain the activities of the two groups in the area.

Last year, former commissioner Nelson Marwa noted that the gangs are being financed by wealthy and

influential individuals who pay the members five hundred shillings when they go for an operation.
