After days of controversy, the Alchemist club has finally been closed to pave wat for investigations into alleged racism recorded in a video.
In a statement, the club confirmed that Nairobi city county officers had visited the joint to analyse the CCTV footage.
Earlier, the nightclub issued an apology that seemed to have done more harm than good.
In a statement, the joint said that the management had reached out to the individuals who posted the video on social media to get more information on the incident.
The video drew mixed reactions from Kenyans.
While some wondered why such things are still happening in this day and age, others noted that racial discrimination is common in club, adding that it was not the first time that someone had complained about it.
Here are are some of the reactions.
“Alchemist is racist and you know that na bado unaenda kwani we ni mjinga?” Ovo Fuego wrote.
“I once worked at Alchemist back in 2017, they were not allowing Kenyans inside when they had a major event unless you’re a celeb or a known customer. They assumed most kenyans will steal from the whites,” Sammy Sizah wrote.
