Eastleigh Youths Suffer Injuries in Police Attack ¶
On October 25, 2019, a group of youths in Nairobi's Eastleigh area suffered injuries following an attack by people suspected to be police officers from Pangani Police Station.
The youths claim that the police officers demolished their toilet business and vandalized their tanks just hours before the attack.
The youths believe that the police officers were being used by a private developer who is building an apartment next to the premise.
The group's Chairman Mohamed Ismail stated that the private developer has been trying to acquire the space for a long time, hence the harassment and eviction.
The youth leaders are planning to seek justice for the affected youths by writing to the county and national governments.
