Football fans stormed into Kasarani Stadium on Sunday afternoon after hours of waiting in queues ahead of the much-anticipated African Nations Championship (CHAN 2024) match between Kenya and DR Congo.
Videos showed a mammoth crowd waiting in line as some passed through a checkpoint but the barricades were knocked down moments later. Crowds entered through various sections of the field.
The security officers were overwhelmed as they watched the crowd jog past them, heading into the packed stadium.

Inside the stadium, however, security was tight as fans marched inside the 48,000 seater arena awaiting the football showdown.
Earlier reports had indicated that citizens were complaining about challenges in purchasing tickets as some accused the government of filling the stadium with supporters to avoid hostile chants.
