Police have stepped up their vigilance on entertainment spots in Nairobi following stringent health measures laid out by President Uhuru Kenyatta last Wednesday. On Friday night, police officers sealed off several entertainment spots in Langata, Kilimani and Mombasa Road and arrested scores who were found in such premises after 9pm.

Bars, restaurants as well as hotels and eateries in Utawala, Kiambu Road, Ngong’ Road and Thika Road operating after the 9pm closure hour were also affected.

A few minutes after 10pm, the armed officers started commanding everyone inside the premises to board their vehicles.
