The Friday morning operation caught traders on Aerodrome road by surprise and they did not have time to salvage their wares from their shops and just watched helplessly.
The car bazaar situated opposite the Nyayo National Stadium is believed to be senator wamatangi’s.
There was heavy police presence and the morning operation affected traffic flow resulting in snarl ups.
The traders complained saying they had been paying rent to the landlord and were not aware of any demolition as no eviction notice was served to them.
