National Police Service explained a viral video showing an officer carrying laptops during recent Nairobi demonstrations. The footage came from June 17 protests when criminals broke into stores and stole electronics across the business district. Officers arrested one suspect and recovered four stolen laptops that serve as evidence at Central Police Station. Police asked victims to visit the station and identify their missing computers. Officials continue investigating to catch remaining thieves who participated during the looting spree.
Nairobi Woman Representative Esther Passaris defended police actions against public criticism about the video footage. She spoke with Regional Police Commander George Seda who confirmed officers recovered the laptops from criminals rather than stealing them. Passaris warned media companies against spreading false information that damages trust between citizens and law enforcement. The recovered electronics remain safely stored at the police station awaiting their rightful owners. She urged news outlets to report accurate facts about the incident.
Protesters demanded justice for teacher Albert Ojwang who died inside a police cell under suspicious circumstances. The demonstrations started peacefully but turned violent when armed gangs invaded the streets with weapons. Police fired tear gas to scatter crowds gathered throughout the central business area. Groups of young men rode motorcycles and carried wooden clubs during the chaos. Violence erupted across multiple locations as criminals used the protests to rob innocent people.
