Mkuu wa polisi wa Nairobi Issa Mohamud anakanusha kuzuia upatikanaji wa CBD

Kamanda wa Mkoa wa Nairobi Issa Mohamud amekanusha madai kwamba polisi walizuia makusudi wakaazi kufikia eneo la biashara la kati Jumatatu.

Akizungumza na waandishi wa habari alasiri ya Julai 7, Mohamud alisema uwepo mkubwa wa polisi ulikuwa wa kudhibiti hali tete iliyotokana na matukio ya zamani, sio kuadhibu mtu yeyote.

Alieleza kuwa maafisa walidhibiti upatikanaji wa jiji kwa kuchunguza na kuthibitisha watu kabla ya kuwaruhusu kuendelea. "Hatukatai mtu yeyote. Lakini tunadhibiti upatikanaji. Baada ya kuchunguza na kuchuja na kuthibitisha, tunakuruhusu uje mbele," alisema Mohamud.

Alikubali kuwa mchakato ulichukua muda mrefu kuliko ilivyotarajiwa kutokana na idadi kubwa ya magari na watembea kwa miguu, na polisi walijuta usumbufu wowote uliosababishwa. Kufikia jioni, polisi walithibitisha maandamano ya Jumatatu yalipita bila vifo, majeruhi, uporaji au wizi wowote. Maafisa walikamata watu kumi, sita Pangani na wanne katika CBD, ambao watatoa maelezo mahakamani Jumanne.
