Reports circulating online have sparked major political tension after claims emerged alleging that all police officers were ordered to storm Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) ahead of the expected return of former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua from the United Kingdom.

According to unverified sources trending on social media, the alleged directive is said to involve a large-scale security deployment aimed at arresting Gachagua immediately upon arrival.
However, no official confirmation has been issued by the National Police Service or any government agency regarding the claims.
The viral reports have triggered mixed reactions online, with supporters of the former Deputy President dismissing the claims as political propaganda meant to intimidate him, while others are closely watching developments at the airport.
JKIA, one of the busiest international airports in East Africa, is expected to witness heightened security activity if the claims prove true, especially given the high-profile nature of the politician’s return.
Security analysts, however, have urged the public to remain calm and verify information before spreading it, warning that misinformation around political figures can easily escalate tensions unnecessarily.
As of now, neither the Office of the President nor the police leadership has commented on the alleged operation, leaving the public waiting for clarity.
This is a developing story… more details to follow.
