A group of angry youths in Pumwani have set a government office on fire following demonstrations that have been ongoing since last night.

In videos and images seen by Kenyans.co.ke, a billowing cloud of fire was seen emanating from the building, with a police vehicle parked nearby appearing to be dangerously close to the inferno.

According to reports, the protests erupted following the alleged fatal shooting of two young men by police officers on Tuesday night.

Police deployed to the area to calm the situation lobbed tear gas at the protesting youths, but tensions remain high.
