This comes at a time when heavy security operation disrupted both private and public transport, leaving hundreds of commuters stranded and forcing many to seek alternative travel.
According to reports, police barricades have been erected at key entry points into the city, effectively cutting off access to the CBD.
Outbound traffic at Githurai was blocked, causing major congestion and disrupting movement along sections of Thika Road.
Among areas affected along the route include the Kahawa and Ruiru bypasses and Githurai and Allsops, with heavy police surveillance.
