Monday, June 23, 2025 - A dramatic scene unfolded at a popular restaurant in Karatina town, Nyeri County, when plainclothes officers from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) attempted to arrest a group of youths allegedly linked to the planned June 25th protests.
The officers stormed the establishment without a warrant and
tried to arrest several young men who were having a meal, accusing them of organizing
the much-anticipated anti-Government demonstrations.
However, the situation quickly turned chaotic when other
patrons intervened, demanding to know the basis of the arrests.
The crowd grew agitated, accusing the officers of
intimidation and unlawful harassment.
A video from the scene shows the DCI officers being
forcefully ejected from the premises by patrons who shouted them down.
Some of the patrons could be heard shouting “stop police
brutality” as they chased the DCI officers away.
The officers were forced to walk away before the situation escalated.
Watch the video.
