Hundreds of motorists and passengers travelling to Nairobi have been stranded after police mounted a roadblock at Mlolongo, triggering a massive traffic snarl-up along the busy Mombasa Road ahead of commemorations marking the June 25, 2024 Gen Z protests.
The roadblock, erected a few metres before the Nairobi Expressway entrance towards the city centre, brought traffic to a near standstill, with long-distance passenger buses, lorries and trailers unable to proceed.
A spot-check by The Standard found only a handful of logistics vehicles being allowed through the security checkpoint.
