Friday, May 23, 2025 - A dramatic confrontation unfolded in Eastleigh after two Christian preachers, one of them a foreign missionary, were roughed up by a group of Somali traders while attempting to preach the gospel on a busy street.
The incident took place near a popular shopping area in
Eastleigh, a Nairobi neighborhood known for its large Somali Muslim population
and vibrant business environment.
The two preachers had set up a small public ministry on the
roadside, using loudspeakers and distributing Christian literature to
passersby.
Tensions quickly escalated when several traders, reportedly
angered by the public preaching, confronted the Men of God.
Heated exchange ensued before the situation turned violent.
In a video circulating online, the preachers can be seen
being chased away by an agitated crowd, with some individuals attempting to
grab their materials and equipment.
The incident has drawn mixed reactions online.
While some Kenyans have condemned the attack as a violation
of the preachers' rights to free speech and religion, others argue that the
choice of location, in a predominantly Muslim business district, may have been
provocative or inappropriate.
