Residents and motorists along Thika Road have narrated their ordeal after a group of armed youth went on a rampage in the Ruaraka area on Wednesday, robbing and assaulting civilians in broad daylight.
The unfortunate incidents, which were captured on amateur footage, showed the attackers vandalising vehicles and looting businesses as terrified victims ran for safety.
The harrowing attack occurred on the same day President William Ruto was touring Mathare, with goons strategically taking advantage of the frenzy to terrorise area businesses.
Eyewitnesses have since recounted the harrowing ordeal and how the goons managed to make away with property worth thousands of shillings while leaving a spate of destruction in their wake.
