A Nairobi father faced police confrontation while visiting The Hub with his children on March 3, 2019, after officers alleged his clothing resembled military fatigues, according to activist Boniface Mwangi.

The incident occurred during a weekend outing when two uniformed officers approached the man in front of his children, demanding he remove his shirt. The clothing in question did not match military camouflage patterns, leading to accusations that the officers sought a bribe.

Photographic evidence circulated showing the man's attire and the confrontation. Mwangi criticized the police action as unjustified, stating, "These idiots just wanted a bribe." The case has drawn public attention to potential misconduct by law enforcement.
