Hundreds of travellers may be forced to spend the night at Ahero due to a nightmare traffic jam spanning several kilometres as Kenyans travel for Christmas festivities.

By 7pm on December 23, the traffic was at a standstill and opportunistic robbers began ransacking vulnerable travellers' vehicles as dark began to set in.
