Eastleigh, Nairobi, bore witness to a chaotic attack on Friday, August 29 evening as armed goons stormed a business complex, causing extensive damage and looting. The incident is believed to stem from an ongoing ownership dispute between tenants and a new landlord.

• Dozens of businesses were affected, with damage and looted merchandise estimated at millions of shillings.
• The attack on the complex, housing 64 textile shops, occurred despite tenants holding valid 15-year lease agreements and a court injunction against eviction.
• The Ruaraka Police Station and Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) are investigating the incident, while business owners appeal to Nairobi County for intervention.
