Hunting down gangsters with Kenya’s Ahmed Rashid - BBC Africa Eye documentary 

When the thieves are killing innocent civilians you dont say human rights but when policemen are killing thieves thats when you remember human rights...

i live in Eastleigh i was robbed many times and one time nearly killed i still bear the stab wound my friend was stabbed 16 times after refusing to hand over his wallet he uses walking stick after damage to his nerves he is only 22 years and will be so for the rest of his life and i say this Thank you Ahmed Rashid God bless you, God keep you and we appreciate you and your team God bless our Motherland

Living in Nairobi is an EXTREME sport. This journalist deserves all the awards. His documentaries are amazing

This man fights so people dont have to feel the pain he has felt, he is a warrior and exactly what AFRICA needs !!

Imisaa Axmed Rashiid soo raadisay arrinkii Sharma Boy ka dib

“Boss, please, don’t annoy me”....at least he is being honest.

In Kenya we do not negotiate with criminals. Especially armed ones. Good job Ahmed. Finish them all.

Somali Kenyans are an asset to our country. They are honest and full of integrity. They do not steal or take bribes, that's why they make the best security personnel, business people, and citizens in general. My local OCS is Somali and even criminals fear him. He gives them two warnings, the third warning is death, no negotiation. During the Westgate attack in 2013, my Somali schoolmate the late Hajji's son went in on his own accord and saved several people. Thank you my fellow Somali citizens, this may be controversial but at this point this is the only way to deal with crime in our country.

I have been car jacked at gunpoint, robbed and held hostage for 3 hours with my family. That feeling of helplessness and fear is unforgettable. Mr Rashid is alright by me. These gangsters are ruthless and they deserve everything Rashid has in store for them

When a guy like that in uniform smiles and says "boss please, don't annoy me" you better immediately STFU!!

Sharma boy vediogiisa kadip inta Fiirsanooso Like dhac ku siiya😂

When an African police says "don't annoy me", usually it means you might be detained for spoiling his day

some of you don't really know the hell local Kenyans go through in the arms of these robbers. don't speak about what you have zero clues on! We support the pangani 6

The lawyer is worried because most of his clients are dead, the journalist is worried that there will not be any news to report if all the criminals are dead.

Even the captain of that gang said they scared of him. Carry on my guy. Become a nightmare for them.

The same place I see is where one day I was attacked by 3 gangs around 7 am on my way to work. I tried to struggle and they stabbed me. Likely I survived with minor injury. I started throwing stones at them as a weapon to defend myself and later a crowd of people joined me and the culprits have been apprehended and they slightly escaped death after they were subjected to mob justice. What still resonates with me is that when one of the thugs started bleeding for his life while a few minutes ago was ordering for my killing using a knife! Tell them that everyone deserves to live and so they do. But am telling the so called super power or any other person in that course to immediately refrain and repent before they are predated upon by peace loving agents like Rashid. I hope those who attacked me that day are no longer in the dirty business and reformed. I don’t want wish them death! Peace for everyone! After 5 years outside the country I am glad to go back and enjoy time with family without disturbances by thugs.

Rashid threatened that kid! Now he will never miss school 😂

Anyone defending this criminals has never suffered in the hands of a criminal. Did you here about that citizen whose neck was chopped because of a simple telephone. This thieves are cruel. Killing is the least they do. If you defend them, then you are more of an accomplice.

I pray for those who have lost their lives because of these criminals who fail to understand we are all surviving (times are hard but there always options) and for those brave officers who have died trying to make our night as peaceful. RIP.

Legend has it this boy will become the ghost of the school and never leave...

Cops in the States: ''You have the right to remain silent...'' Kenyan cops: ''Hell is nice this time of year'', boom.

Foreigners won't understand this??? I live in pangani and it is safe after Rashid and his colleagues came

Always amazes me when a criminal defends his actions with poverty. Are they saying that, for example, in Kenya 13M people should all turn to crime? Let's stop the excuses, Crime is by choice!

We are the Kenyans and we love badass cops. No negotiation with criminals

Almost two years later am here to confirm Eastleigh is a free crime zone I reside there.

This journalist is one of the best and bravest in the world.He earned the trust and the administration of many people in Ethiopia when he went to the frontlines of the tragic civil war and reported it in a fair and balanced way that was lacking before him!

"Do I look like someone who woud hesitate from beating and killing? " If that talk dosent motivate you to get to school....see you at the crossroads homie.

"Isn't it better that a thief is killed before it kills you?"

Eliminate All Gangsters & Criminals. You Have My Support Corporal Ahmed Rashid.

BBC expected a very negative story especially by the members of public but they were shocked to learn the public is so proud of Rashid's team

If you are not Kenyan, you don't know what robbers are capable of n they get away with it so don't comment

I'm from the UK, I live in one of the most dangerous neighbourhoods in Peru. The rule of law only works in areas where the the rule of law is respected. Ahmed Rashid is probably doing what is necessary, until a better system is put in place.

Inta halakan Usoo Gishey inay ogaato ahmed rashiid like😄

If you have never been robbed at Eastliegh you can't know the pain

Am a Ugandan but am also a living testimony I was once robbed in Nairobi jst after coming from the bus they everything from me the phone , money and the bag so I was stuck in a country wcc I don't understand every well but thank God there was a samaritan who helped me so wen I see this man hunting them I just fill like at least I h've got justice much love from 🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬 kip it up

A criminal kills an innocent man. but he is released by court for lack of evidence, he comes back and continues with his robbery. The guy don't accept bribes, he serves justice hot as it should. Salute rashid.

I'm still in shock that no one noticed or even complained of the fact that this girl who is only 16 years old has been married twice to two grown men and has children.That is UNDERAGE MARRIAGE AND IT'S ILLEGAL IN KENYA.That can be considered as rape.

I have stayed in Eastleigh growing up, we would sleep at night and hear gunshots! Times on my way to school back then in 2008- 2009 and saw someone(s) dead on the road and people just passing. I will never forget. Glad to see security tightened. We are in difficult times with a high crime rate and not only in Eastleigh but everywhere. God help us. Stay safe.

*I pray for peace, Love, and Unity in Kenya* !!!

Gangsters killing people everyday: Complete silence from everyone Policeman killed two gangsters: BBC, NGOs, Radio Station all suddenly freak out. What a joke

These people complaining have never had an encounter with a criminal,they won't give you a chance

We in jamaica 🇯🇲 needs a 1000 police 👮‍♀️ like mr rasheed ✊🏿✊🏿 he is a blessing

People who are trying to sympathize the dead criminals i would say to them if you were in these underdeveloped countries growing up in fear and unsafe, then you would have felt otherwise.

You heard that right folks, Deadpool lives in Kenya

Wow m speechless😭! 16yrs old already lost 2 husbands.. it’s clear that those were not just terrorizing criminals but perverts as well. How do u make 16 yrs old a wife🤦🏾‍♀️.. so sad.. I stand by Rashid🙌🏾 keep up good work good cop. I vote for u proudly my African brother all the way from 🇿🇦

The DPP has just approved murder charges against Ahmed Rashid 😭😭😭😭😭 why ? Why ? The man was just making Nairobi safe

Who's watching this after the Spy video

😂😂😂Legend has it that the young man goes to school even on Sundays to check if indeed it's a school day and he happened to forget about it.

These guys actually show up when you call, most police stations ask if the thieves have guns and if your answer is yes then they won't show up

In Uganda we have a saying that "If one branch of the tree is defective cut off completely so it doesn't affect the rest of the tree. I wish we had such a police officer in Uganda. Good work Rashid.

Inta so raadisay *Sharma boy* markuu soo hadlay wan idin salaamayaa😅

Every country has special secret officers that do the same work as Rashid. They just don't show it. Some bad guys deserve no justice. People who are killing, robbing, stabbing innocent civilians cannot stay in the community. Officer Rashid gets things done.

Its a fact the armed gangsters wont take you to their courts for you to surrender your wallet and phone before they kill you... Why should police take them to court... If one feels the killing is bad then talk to the gangsters also to stop killing innocent people .... Long life to the pangani 6...

I get why the people of Eastleigh support Rashid. Most of the residents are somalis who have fled from the civil war in somalia. The came here for peace and they don't want this gangsters messing it up for them

AM HAPPY A MAN LIKE RASHID JUST POP UP, I LOVE HIS SINCERE WORK.CRIMINALS DONT NEED TO BE ENTERTAINED AT ALL.THANKS RASHID

2011 when I was in Nairobi they attacked me, just for the Nokia phone But thanks God i survived 🙌 Well done Ahmed Rashid

I wholeheartedly support this...criminals put citizens in fear, no matter how big or small the crime is but it affects the citizens.

WHEN YOU INVEST, YOU'RE BUYING A DAY YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORK.

What a man. Serving and helping his community like a true Hero.

This guy should be hired in Detroit or Chicago he’d destroy crime rates too 0%

Living in Eastleigh, Rashid has done us well!! Fewer crimes nowadays!!

Am staying at Eastleigh without fearing for superpowers thanks uncle Ahmed rashiid we proud you as a Somali Kenyans I wish one day I will meet you our brave 🙏💟💞💝

Kenyan with Somali blood... No nonsense guy. We need many of those for the cutting edge of African police...

He's just making the criminals live in terror rather than the innocent

i felt his pain when he cried.he must be very hurt by the death of his colleague

Holysht we need this kind of Justice in India !! Good Job Ahmed 👍👍 love from India.

Dear God protect Kenya.

This guy is doing a good job .... us kenyan know what we go through on the hands of thugs

That girl is 16yo and has already had 2 husbands...wtf?!

Ahmed Rashid was charged with murder on two counts of killing the two thieves in broad daylight..Hearings started last March.I hope Ahmed Rashid is acquitted and can return to his normal life soon..

Come to kisauni mombasa...we need someone like you Ahmed

This police man needs protection, support and encouragement and promotion ... Good job sir.

salute to Corporal Ahmed Rashid... we need someone like him in the Philippines.....please....

We need Ahmed Rashiid here in Minneapolis especially Karmell Mall area!! May Allah bless him ❤️

Kenyan Police team is the best. Mr. Rashid and his boss is the best. We need more of them in this world!! Really more and more!

"Boss!! Please don't annoy me." *click, clack*

Basically you revenge a death legally by being on the force. Genius

A few moths ago I was on an evening run along Thika super highway, I nearly lost my life that day because of my headphones, I had just graduated and was on my first job my parents are scared since then they call me every day just to make sure I'm back at the house by 8 pm. It is a scary and traumatizing and unless you have been gang robbed, it is easy to criticize what the police are doing on the basis of human rights.

Once i hve been robed in broad day light by five men and i was badly beaten I know the pain so shout out to to police like Rashid .Bring other like him in Kawangware

When it comes to executing the armed robbers i will NEVER blame the police, I have been a victim we were robbed off on a Double M matatu early Morning when we were going to work at 5:30 am by 7 youthful robbers, so anyone complaining of these killings must be an accomplice of these gangs....

Being a Law enforcement officer I can share one incident.." We got a tip off about few robbers wanted in many cases in a house having dinner,we immediately went to that place ..The robbers started firing at the 1st team,We started firing back..I saw with my own eyes 3 guys running with .303 rifles..We have to be very careful while firing as it was a densely populated area..All robbers escaped..Next day We saw Media reports claiming that We fired on innocent guests"..

Thanks to Ahmed Rashid for making eastleigh safe.

i think he should start hunting down the corrupt people in government... i will support him... kenyans, we are tired

I wish we have someone like him in South Africa 🇿🇦

Police in western countries "suspect is armed and dangerous", Police in Kenya "they have just one fire arm and few knifes".

One thing I like about the Pangani 6 is that they give criminals several warnings to change before they strike. They don't even ask them to surrender. They ask them to stop crime. They give them weeks and sometimes months; all the time a person needs to get something legal to do with their lives. And they know their marks. Even if they arrested you by mistake and bundled you up with gang members, you'll most likely spend just a night or 2 in a cell but they'll never hurt you if you aren't in their watchlist

At 16 she's having gangster husbands hmmmm Please Let's borrow That officer for a year so he can solve Uganda's mafias as well

Mean streets like this creates a different breed of cop

This man has single handedly brought peace to eastleigh, Human rights 🤣😂😂 They don't talk about human rights when they stab mercilessly the innocent .

Am Kenyan. I've been robbed once at gunpoint Nairobi. And twice by thugs armed with crude weapons. My opinion on Rashid ? Floor them all brother. Keep up the good work.

I love this cop. These officers deserve the medal of honor please come to our country and take care of our criminals

Mr.Rashid, I as a Libyan completely support you. Praise to this man!

When the Muslim community merchants in Kenya are praying for Mr. Ahmed Rashid and the team's safety and appreciate their services proves he must be a righteous man in their eyes. Mr. Rashid is a battle-tested crime-fighting warrior.

You are doing a great job!!! For the homeless, widows and mentally or physically ill. These kinds of jobs are hard - but we need men of honor like you! Stop the violence 🗣 Peace and blessing upon you!

*So they remember human rights when thieves get killed😂😑..........Ahmed rashid we respect u man💜*

Inta axmed rashiid sharma boy kaso maqashay 👍like

How the heck is this man not getting the recognition he so thoroughly deserves?! This is amazing!!

inta war JecLi Dartiis Axmed Rashiid soo RaaDisaY After sharma boy isoo RaaCa😂

I support those cops 100%. Get the thieves before the get good tax paying citizens. We need this cop in America!!!

We need more police officers like him..
