There are protests happening in Thika because a body was found in a river. The road at Ruiru is blocked because of this. People say that the victim was taken, killed, and then thrown into the river by alleged police officers.
There is very heavy traffic on Thika Road near Ruiru, stretching all the way to Kimbo if you are going to Nairobi.
A young man’s body, who was said to have been taken, was just pulled out of Ruiru River.
Local people believe this body belongs to someone who was abducted, killed, and dumped in the river.
Both sides of Thika Road are currently closed at Ruiru because of the protests after the body was found.
This situation is changing, and the road blockage is making it hard for people to travel from Nairobi to Thika and back.
