Drama unfolded this morning in Nairobi when controversial car dealer Khalif Kairo was arrested and driven under heavy security to Milimani Law Courts. The arrest, which happened just moments ago, sent shockwaves through the city.
Eyewitnesses report that Kairo, whose real name is Joseph Kairo Wambui, was picked up by plainclothes officers outside his Westlands office in a swift and well-coordinated operation.
Police vehicles sped off with him, cutting through morning traffic as officers cleared the way.

Details remain sketchy, but early reports suggest this could be linked to new fraud charges. Kairo, a well-known figure in Kenya’s second-hand car market, has been battling multiple accusations of swindling clients out of millions.
In January, he was dramatically re-arrested outside Milimani Law Courts after securing bail, a moment that dominated national headlines.
Social media is already on fire, with the handle @Asamoh_ breaking the news first, stating:
“JUST IN: Khalif Kairo arrested and being taken to Milimani Law Courts. More details to follow. Drones deployed!”
The deployment of drones has raised eyebrows—why the extra surveillance? Are authorities expecting resistance, or is this case bigger than it appears?
Kairo has always denied any wrongdoing, insisting his legal troubles are the result of business disputes.

But his flashy lifestyle, often flaunted on social media, has fueled speculation. Some Kenyans see him as a victim of a system targeting the wealthy, while others believe justice is finally catching up with him.
All eyes are now on Milimani Law Courts. Will he be charged, granted bail, or detained further? Stay with us for live updates as this high-stakes drama unfolds.
