Police in Nairobi have warned social media content creators against false reporting of gang attacks in the Central Business District (CBD), urging genuine victims to report incidents to the police instead. This comes amidst increased police presence and a crackdown on criminal activities in the area.

• Nairobi Regional Police Commander George Seda stated that alleged attacks are often not reported to police, making social media claims seem untrue.
• Police have deployed officers from various departments to the CBD to enhance safety and ensure businesses operate as usual.
• An ongoing crackdown, which began on September 3, 2025, has led to the arrest of 214 suspects linked to mugging incidents following widespread social media outcry.
