Early in the morning, officers gathered at Nyayo Stadium for briefing and strategic planning before deploying into Nairobi’s Central Business District (CBD). A convoy of land cruisers and armored personnel carriers (APCs) snaked its way through Uhuru Highway, while another team proceeded via Langata Road towards Ulinzi Sports Complex. Government officials indicated that these deployments were aimed at safeguarding critical government installations and ensuring overall security in the capital.
Officials familiar with the operations emphasized that all deployment procedures had been duly followed, with the military providing support to the police to maintain order. Their primary mandate included protecting vital infrastructure and ensuring the safety of residents and businesses in Nairobi.
Amidst these preparations, demonstrators had been cautioned against marching towards State House, while the CBD itself remained relatively calm. Many shops chose to remain closed, though police reassured those that were open of their safety. The heightened police presence across various parts of the city underscored ongoing efforts to uphold public safety and maintain peace during this period of increased security operations.
