KAYOLE SECURITY PRO

Kayole Estate is located on the Nairobi Eastland’s part in Kenya.it consists of the majorly the middle class dwellers. Its development started in the early 1990’s with to facilitate housing for the rapid urbanization from rural migrants.

The cartels which mostly consists of unemployed youths indulge in criminal activities in order to make ends meet. The recruitment into this cartels is done by word of mouth, only to trusted “few”, after successful recruitment, they are introduced to life of crime which includes rape, extortion of a “small fee” (from Matatu’s and small business around the estate to enable smooth running of their businesses),kidnapping ,murder, robbery with violence, drug trafficking,
