This is as the area has severally been on the spot over deadly terror attacks.
The attacks that took place in 2014 left a deep wound among residents, killing over 20 and displacing hundreds.
According to a Daily Nation report as of February 2019, at least 300 people who were displaced are still camping at Katsaka Kairu three years after they were uprooted from their homes.
During the rather bold Madaraka Day terror threat on Saturday, police arrested 22-year-old Adan Galhai alias Urisha Galhai.
The man reportedly intended to attack the national celebration that convened hundreds of Kenyans, political leaders including the head of state and his deputy, guarded by high profile security.
A police report revealed that Galhai, who is suspected to have links with deadly terror group Al Shabaab, was also posing as a security officer.
“He wanted to enter the stadium on Friday and when searched, his National Identity Card and another Identity Card written as National Security were recovered from him. When he was being questioned about the same he escaped,” the police statement reads.
According to the police statement, Galhai converted to Islam in 2014 and has been living in Eastleigh, Nairobi.
