CCTV captures how goons stormed All Saints Cathedral

One suspect has since been arrested. Here's the chronology of events and the faces of the attackers who, yet again, appear to have lowered the bar with this latest incident.

At exactly 9:39 a.m., motorbikes carrying between two and three men forced their way into All Saints Cathedral. Their faces and motorcycle registration plates were clearly captured on CCTV footage.

Within five minutes, police officers moved in and managed to repel the group outside Valley Road at around 9:44 a.m.

Even as they fled, the gang allegedly turned on pedestrians along Kenyatta Avenue, robbing some of them in broad daylight as they headed toward Valley Road.

Barely 30 minutes later, at 10:11 a.m., the attackers returned, this time abandoning their motorcycles and entering the church compound on foot.

Security cameras captured the men walking into the premises before proceeding toward the conference area where a post-budget forum was underway.

Five men were later seen on the second floor allegedly robbing participants inside the lobby.

One victim was overpowered and robbed while attempting to flee to the third floor. Another participant was cornered as police officers scrambled to intervene.

The group then began chanting slogans and disrupting the meeting, forcing activities to stop temporarily. Outside the church compound, a gunshot was fired in an apparent attempt to disperse the invaders.

The entire incident was captured on multiple CCTV cameras, with the suspects’ faces clearly visible.

One suspect was later arrested and taken to Kibra Police Station.

On Saturday, officers from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations visited the scene to collect evidence. However, despite the existence of clear footage and identifiable faces, most of the suspects remain at large.

This is yet another case in which suspected criminals were captured on camera, but accountability still appears out of reach.

Two attacks in a single morning, inside one of Nairobi’s oldest churches. With faces and number plates clearly captured on camera, the question tonight remains, why are the suspects still walking free?
