Residents are vexed and took to the streets, armed and ready to take on the gangsters physically.

City government departments gathered trying to deal with school drop outs recruited by the gangs, preventing the gangs to have a future and a full-out war.

Police say they will need the assistance of all departments to fight the scourge of gangsterism if not, there are greater chance of losing the fight and lose confidence from residents as they are meant to protect.
