Questions Raised As Heavy Police Presence With Tankers Spotted in Nairobi CBD
There was a state of confusion in the Nairobi central business district after heavy police tankers were spotted at the Nyayo Stadium roundabout.
In a video shared by Human Rights Activist Hussein Khalid showed, two police tankers filled with officers making their way into the city’s Central Business District on Tuesday, January 7.
However, the main reason for the police deployment is not clear, the activist wondered if there were planned protests because The government always deploys heavy police in the CBD when there have been threats of protests.
The return of police patrolling the city’s CBD has raised eyebrows. During the anti-governmental protests in June/July 2024, police officers patrolled and manned the CBD daily in an attempt to block youths from protesting.
On Tuesday, January 6, the city witnessed running battles between police and a section of Kenyans who had turned up to protest against the ongoing forced disappearances faced in the country.
