Raila Odinga’ Azimio team have been dispersed after it encountered heavily armed security personnel while demonstrating in Pipeline area Nairobi.
The problem started when Raila’s convoy neared Outer ring road, where police had mounted a huge roadblock. A huge crowd that was accompanying Azimio’s convoy was forced to scamper for safety when police rained teargas canisters on them.
Raila’s convoy was forced to make a stop for over five minutes as teargas ruled the air. After things calmed down, the convoy was forced to make a U-Turn and went back using the route it came from.
The convoy was said to be heading to town for mega demonstrations but was prevented from accessing outer ring road.
Water canons were also used during repulsion that saw supporters scamper for safety. The convoy had sneaked its way through Imara Daima, Mukuru kwa Reuben, and was in Pipeline before teagas came calling.
There was peace for the better part of the procession starting at Capitol Hill until they encountered a police roadblock. It had been reported that the team was heading to Jacaranda grounds before it changed the plans.
