Police say the blast that occurred along First Avenue in Nairobi’s Eastleigh Estate claimed the life of the suspected suicide bomber and injured 10 others who are being treated in different hospitals.
The officers say the explosion was caused by an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) and the motive is not yet known.
The Friday evening explosion came two days after another one killed three people along Juja road in Eastleigh and on the eve of the arrival of US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton who is expected in Nairobi today, Saturday. Clinton has started an 11-day tour of Africa by contrasting America’s commitment to democracy and human rights with rival powers’ focus on exploiting resources.
Elsewhere, there was panic in Nairobi West area when a 27-yearl-old man was arrested in possession of 20 bullets. He is undergoing interrogation before being taken to court.
And in Nairobi’s Kawangware Estate, three people have been arrested over the stabbing of a man in chang’aa den in Gatina.
The man was stabbed in the chest by unknown assailants after an argument.
