The Latema road blast was a minor terror incident that occurred on 26 January 2019 on Latema road in Nairobi's Central Business District.[1] The attack occurred after luggage containing an improvised explosive device detonated while it was being carried on a mkokoteni cart, injuring two people.[2]

Background

Kenya has suffered several terrorist attacks, the most recent being the Nairobi Dusitd2 complex attack. The main perpetrators behind the attacks have been Al-Shabaab militants who have been trying to overthrow the Kenyan backed Somali government.

Incident

On the evening of 26 January 2019, at around 7 p.m., a middle aged cart pusher was approached by a man of Somali descent to ferry goods, including a box, from the Baba Dogo bus stop to the Kenya Cinema bus stop.[2] As they were nearing the junction of Latema road and Tom Mboya road, the client pretended to have forgotten his ID in a nearby MPESA agent and rushed off, leaving the cart puller waiting.[1] Shortly after he left, the goods being ferried exploded, injuring the cart pusher and a vendor.[1]

Aftermath

After the incident, anti-bomb squad and anti terror police units sealed off the area after evacuating the injured and searched for the owner of the goods.[3][4] On the morning of 27 January 2019, the National police service advised members of the public to be vigilant and report any suspicious cases to the police.[5]
