A number of motorists were left counting losses on the afternoon of Thursday, July 24, following violent clashes between rival youth groups along Outering Road in Nairobi.
The unrest, which took place along the Kariobangi-Kiamaiko-Allsops stretch, spiralled into a dangerous confrontation, with police struggling to contain the two factions.
Footage obtained by Kenyans.co.ke showed groups of youth lighting fires along the busy highway, with sections attempting to intercept motorists trying to drive through.
According to witnesses, the unrest stemmed from an incident in which a suspected thief was killed by a mob in the Kiamaiko area.
