Matatu drivers, conductors wanted over robbery of passengers

In the first incident, a matatu was attacked along Mombasa Road after it had picked up passengers at Taj Mall while headed for Central Business District (CBD).
The passengers and crew were robbed of their cash and valuables. Last week, police asked any victims to report to them after complains were raised about insecurity at Taj Mall.
