Two suspects were arrested with an improvised explosive device (IED) at Garden City Mall, Nairobi county, on Tuesday.
The suspects had sneaked into the mall but were arrested after security officers were tipped off, said Kasarani CID chief Valerie Obore.
Obore said the mall was immediately evacuated and the device detonated, preventing panic.
“Our bomb experts were deployed to the compound, everyone evacuated and a search conducted to ensure no other IEDs were planted inside the mall,” she added.
The officer said security will be heightened in the mall and other areas in the city.
