Although it was not immediately clear why the busy terminal was being closed, we can now reveal that the arrival of the United States First Lady Melania triggered the decision.

The move is part of security arrangements for Melania who will be in Kenya for two days as part of her itinerary on the African continent.

After her departure, it is expected that it will be immediately reopened.
