Nairobi, Kenya – The Inspector General of the National Police Service (NPS), Douglas Kanja Kirocho, joined the Muslim community in Eastleigh to celebrate Eid-ul-Fitr, marking the end of Ramadan. The event, held earlier today, drew thousands of worshippers and was closely monitored by a strong security presence.

Kamukunji MP Yusuf Hassan shared highlights of the gathering on his official X account, @MPyusufhassan, acknowledging the presence of senior security officials who accompanied the Inspector General. Among them were Nairobi Regional Police Commander George Seda, Police Spokesperson Michael Nyaga Muchiri, Starehe OCPD Muraya, and Eastleigh North OCS Abdi Dis.

Expressing his gratitude, MP Hassan commended the police leadership for their efforts in ensuring a safe and peaceful celebration.

Eastleigh, known for its large Somali and Muslim population, hosts one of Nairobi’s most significant Eid celebrations. The heavy security deployment reflected ongoing efforts to safeguard large public gatherings, given past security concerns in the area.

While the National Police Service has yet to issue an official statement, the active involvement of top security officials has been seen as a positive step in strengthening trust between law enforcement and the community.

As Eid-ul-Fitr festivities continue in Eastleigh, families are expected to gather for feasts and acts of charity, embracing the spirit of joy, reflection, and togetherness that defines the occasion.
