Monday, May 19, 2025 - A group of rowdy Gor Mahia fans confronted corrupt traffic police officers at a roadblock while en route to a football match on Sunday, exposing the rampant bribery culture that continues to plague Kenyan roads.
The rogue cops had mounted a roadblock with the intention of
extorting bribes from passing motorists - a practice all too familiar to many
Kenyans.
Things quickly escalated when the officers flagged the bus
that was ferrying K’Ogalo fans.
The fans, known for their vocal and often fearless support
of their team, were not having it.
What followed was an intense confrontation, with the fans
vocally challenging the officers and accusing them of corruption.
Some fans even dared the armed cops to shoot them if they
wouldn't let the bus through.
Their defiant stance overwhelmed the officers, who were
caught off guard by the fierce resistance.
Sensing the situation could spiral into chaos, with fans
threatening to block the road and cause mayhem, the police reluctantly backed
down and allowed the bus to continue its journey.
The confrontation, captured on video, has since gone viral,
sparking widespread debate online.
Many Kenyans have hailed the fans as heroes for standing up
to systemic corruption, while others have expressed concern over the potential
danger of such confrontations escalating into violence.
