The county government of Nairobi has pulled down several billboards it termed illegal.
The billboards had been erected along major roads, with reports that they had blocked pedestrian walkways.
They were also blocking road signs, county officials said. In a night raid on Monday, May 5, the county leadership destroyed dozens of billboards on several major roads in the city.
Some of the billboards removed had been suspended over roads and obstructed a significant number of traffic signs.
