Residents who run business along Latema road in the Nairobi city centre have today woken up in shock after realizing a metallic box that was abandoned by the roadside.
Fearing it to be an explosive or a bomb, officers from the directorate of crime investigation were called in to understand the situation of the matter and the area was cordoned off.

The box was abandoned just meters away from the scene of a blast that rocked on Saturday evening that left two people injured that is still under investigation.
The officials from the Directorate of criminal Investigations bomb squad and hazardous materials took the box for analysis. We are yet to confirm the contents of the box once the results from the lab are released to the press.
