On 17 November 2017, NASA leader Raila Odinga returned to Kenya from the United States and was received at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport amid a tense security scene.

The arrival, which had drawn a large crowd, quickly turned chaotic after police used tear gas as supporters and rival groups clashed near JKIA. The video source shows the moment his return was marked by confrontation rather than celebration.

Nyakundi Report notes that the clip does not provide additional on-record statements, but it captures the atmosphere around Odinga’s homecoming and the disorder that followed his landing.
