The victims of the robbery had to be rushed to a hospital in Nairobi for specialised treatment. The incident took place only days after a prominent tanzanite dealer in Arusha, Erasto Msuya, was gunned down in a hail of bullets near Bomang’ombe town in Hai district, Kilimanjaro region.
Mtu huyo aliyetajwa kwa jina la Enobemhe Emmanuel Peter inaaminika alishukia Uwanja wa Ndege wa Kimataifa wa Julius Nyerere, Dar es Salaam, akitokea Nigeria na kisha kwenda Kenya kwa barabara, kupitia mpaka wa Namanga mkoani Arusha.
