Monday, June 2, 2025 - A dramatic scene unfolded in Nairobi’s Central Business District (CBD) after members of the public intervened to stop what appeared to be a forcible arrest of a young man by plain-clothes police officers.
In a viral video circulating on social media, several
men-believed to be officers, are seen attempting to handcuff the young man
along a busy street.
The man, visibly distressed, screams for help and defies
arrest, drawing the attention of passersby.
The crowd confronts the men, demanding an explanation and
questioning their identity.
Tensions rise as the officers fail to produce identification
or explain the reason for the arrest, prompting the public to intervene and
rescue the man.
The officers were forced to flee before the situation
escalated.
The incident has reignited public concern over rising
reports of abductions and unlawful arrests by individuals posing as police
officers.
