Police in Nairobi are investigating claims of emergence “of gangsterism” and organised crime in the city. Details from police sources revealed that staff working with Nairobi County could be linked to a revolution and were yesterday summoned and questioned over the claims.
This followed the Labour Day’s incident in which more than 200 riders disrupted an event at Uhuru Park.

The group was carrying a banner and donned in t-shirts labelled Sonko Defence Forces (SDF) and they made their way into Uhuru Park running, shouting and blowing whistles as presentations by entertainment groups were ongoing.

Police feel the group was organised somewhere and facilitated to ride through the city with impunity.

The said revolution was part of the April 30 march organised by Red Vests Movement that aborted at Uhuru Park. Police dispersed the group that wore red T-shirts and planned a march to various Government institutions to condemn rampant corruption.
The group is a concerned citizens’ movement formed on February 26, following discomfort that emanated from perceived normalisation of graft.
