An office associated with Deputy President William Ruto was raided by members of the Anti-Terror Police Unit (ATPU) at Nairobi’s Transnational Plaza.
During the operation on Sunday, July 24, the officers forced their way into the ninth-floor office and left destruction in their wake.
During the operation, they smashed doors and combed through the debris. In a statement to the media, Nairobi Regional Commissioner James Mugera indicated that the raid was intended to confirm rumors that an election-related server was being hosted in the office.
“Two private servers were being moved… We are here to verify,” Mugera stated.
