Editor's Review Anti-riot police officers dispersed tear gas canisters to prevent any gatherings. The officers patrolled the city streets with police vehicles and dispersed tear gas canisters to prevent any gatherings. A tear gas canister dispersed in Nairobi CBD. This led to a number of protestors scampering to safety as the officers dispersed the canisters at any form of gathering. Members of the press who were covering the scenes were also forced to flee to safety as some of the tear gas canisters landed close to them.
