Residents of an estate in Nairobi have raised concerns over the influx of Nigerian nationals in the area.
Residents of Mihang’o in Nairobi’s Utawala area have decried the rate at which the West Africans are occupying the area, noting that they are also engaging in illegal activities.
They say the foreigners have been engaging in pornography, drug trafficking as well as money laundering.
Speaking to the Standard, one of the residents said that some of foreigners recently ganged up and destroyed his neighbour’s house following a confrontation over a woman.
Mihang’o Residents Association chairman, Jonah Marpash says the Nigerians, who live in apartments mostly in Riverside estate, are usually released almost immediately after they are arrested while committing crimes.
“They only come out at night. During the day they are a sleep. Nobody knows exactly what they do for a living yet they go around bragging a lot. Residents are surprised police are not bothered,” Mihang’o Member of County Assembly Paul Kadosi said.

Stop this xenophobia shit if they were doing legit jobs they would not be coming out at night. The results of a greedy president ati development you cannot protect legit Kenyans from thugs now you are introducing foreigners who are up to no good. By the way Sukuma wiki with no meat never killed anybody.

Kenyans are full of hatred towards Nigerians but always pretending like it’s cool . We’re not the problems you guys have in your country, your men are lazy and are drunkards , the women are gold diggers and betrayals only tend to be loyal for sometime as long as they can get money from you ….Kenyans needs to stop this stereotype against Nigerians and focus on making yourseleves a better people. Imagine a grown ass kenya man can’t even travel to a different country and learn about a new culture and heritage that’s so dumb
