Former Governor Mike Sonko has raised alarms about rising insecurity in Nairobi's Central Business District (CBD), specifically highlighting attacks targeting women. He urged the National Police Service (NPS) to intervene following reports of criminal gangs using crude weapons.

• Main targets of the attacks are women, with criminals using weapons like knives and machetes.
• Sonko used his X page to publicize the issue and call for action.
• The NPS, through spokesperson Muchiri Nyaga, has largely downplayed the insecurity, attributing some incidents like the Nanak House fracas on August 22, 2025, to a civil dispute.
