NAIROBI, Kenya, Jan 14 — Several vehicles were destroyed during the dawn demolition of a carwash and adjacent businesses on Douglas Wakiiuri Road, formerly Aerodrome Road, opposite Rubis Nyayo Stadium.
All cars in the yard, including those at the carpet and carwash, were flattened, alongside a restaurant and other structures.
The operation has blocked the road, with bulldozers and large stones still obstructing access.
Property of unknown value, including motor vehicles, was lost in the operation.
A crowd, including business owners, gathered at the scene amid tight security. The demolition, which began at 3am, affected a carwash owned by a Central Kenya governor.
