These teens steal and rob at gunpoint and even kill over the slightest provocation in their pursuit for money to maintain a larger than life image. Surprisingly most of them are hardly out of school. We are talking of teenage gangsters of Nairobi who define a reincarnated breed of amateur criminals thirsting for quick money and the good life, irrespective of the price. They operate in gangs, each with distinctive identities while going about the business of callously robbing and harming within specific marked territories.. Surprisingly, members of these groupings take time off to mingle and make acquaintance with each other during frequent parties, during which they project deceptive images of children from well-to-do families. Thomas Warui Njoka aka Tomaso fits this profile - young, ambitious, outgoing and flashy. Positive adjectives that paradoxically describe the new dangerous robber of Nairobi who could be your son, daughter, next-door neighbor, your pal or a close family member.
