Chaos erupted at Luthuli Avenue, Nairobi’s electronics hub, as anti-counterfeit officers attempted a raid on shops selling counterfeit products.
The traders ganged up together and fought back, repelling the officers.
The incident sparked varied reactions. Some believe that unscrupulous traders at Luthuli sponsor gangs to monitor raids and cause chaos to avoid arrest. Others argue that the anti-counterfeit unit frequently harasses traders, leading to resistance.
