More than 200 suspects arrested during the June 25 demonstrations in Nairobi have been arraigned at the Milimani Law Courts and charged with obstructing motor vehicles and disrupting traffic flow on major roads in Nairobi.

According to the charge sheets presented before the court, the accused persons are alleged to have, on June 25, 2026, at around 9:30 a.m. along Landhies Road, unlawfully assembled on a section of the road and obstructed the operations of motor vehicles.

The prosecution further alleges that the suspects blocked the road by heaping stones and burning tyres, thereby causing obstruction and inconvenience to other road users, contrary to the law.

Those arraigned include 12 suspects from Kamukunji Police Station, 58 from Shauri Moyo Police Station, 46 from Industrial Area Police Station, and 87 from Central Police Station. 

The accused denied the charges and were released on a cash bail of Ksh.1,000 each. The case will be mentioned on July 2.
