A protest calling for the resignation of Deputy Inspector General Eliud Lagat has been temporarily thwarted by a gang. The anti-Lagat protestors who were marching in Nairobi CBD had to scamper for safety as the gangs on boda boda accosted them.
The camp, which arrived on several motorbikes with ferocity, caught the protesters, who were peacefully marching toward the Central Police Station at the University Way intersection. This caused the protest to be disrupted.
As they whisked away and flogged the defiant remnants on the road, the anti-Lagat protesters had to vanish into thin air, allowing the rival camp to take control. Police cars and officers could be seen witnessing how the gangs were chasing and roughing up protesters.
To disperse the crowd that had gathered at the Nation Centre, where the rage had begun, police had earlier fired teargas canisters. Since then, business in the town has been halted by the tension, and shops have already closed.
