City Streets Erupt in #NaneNane Protests as Suspected Thief Seeks Refuge in Police Vehicle Amid Unrest: “Toka Nje Mwizi”(Video)
The city streets have been inundated with #nanenane protests, where demonstrators are fervently calling for increased accountability from the government.
The intensity of these demonstrations has captured the attention of the entire city as protestors persist in their demands.
Despite President William Ruto’s efforts to address some of the grievances expressed by the protesters, the youth remain undeterred and have pledged to maintain their demonstrations.
This wave of civil unrest has emerged concurrently with a significant political event: the swearing-in of new Cabinet secretaries at the State House.
This event marks a major shift in the administration following the dissolution of the previous Cabinet.
Amid the ongoing protests, an unusual and dramatic incident occurred on Thursday, August 8.
A suspected thief, allegedly involved in the theft of a mobile phone, sought refuge in a police vehicle amid the chaos.
This individual, attempting to evade the ire of the angry crowd, was seen curling up inside the police car.
