Friday, July 31, 2026 - Transport along Thika Road was briefly disrupted on Friday morning after a man jumped from the Kahawa Wendani footbridge, prompting motorists to slow down as authorities responded to the incident. The man's body was covered with a white cloth as police and other emergency responders secured the scene and prepared for its removal. Traffic police later arrived and directed motorists to use a single lane while officers managed the scene and worked to restore the normal flow of traffic. It has since emerged that the deceased was a former Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) soldier. It’s now alleged that the old man who jumped from the Kahawa Wendani footbridge is an ex-KDF soldier.
