"The five suspects had earlier been captured in a video recording while displaying items that they had stolen from their victims.

The five have been processed pending arraignment in a court of law.

The clip which went viral both on TikTok and Twitter, showed them bragging about the items they stole, including a stylish coat and a set of car keys.

The suspects dared Kenyans to show up with more expensive phones at the upcoming Christina Shusho concert slated for December 31, 2023, under the guise that they were preparing to steal more goods.

Meanwhile, comedy guru Daniel Ndambuki popularly known as Churchill could be reconsidering his lineup for Shusho's upcoming event after criticism emerged over plans to hold Shusho's music performance jointly with his comedy show.

Through his Instagram account, Churchill engaged netizens asking them to give suggestions for their ideal NYE gig this year and most are pushing for a full-blown gospel concert headlined by the Tanzanian songstress.

Besides Shusho, fans are also suggesting Kenyan artistes to perform including Eunice Njeri, Evelyne Wanjiru and Mercy Masika among others.

Shusho is known for songs such as Shusha Nyavu, Unikumbuke, Wa Kuabudiwa, Bwana Umenichunguza among others.
