On 27 August 1996, the premises of Fotoform Printers in
Westlands, Nairobi were bombed; however, no substantial damage
was done. According to the 30 August edition of the weekly “The
People”, which is printed by Fotoform, the gas used in the
bombing was contained in two plastic cans which were placed at
the rear basement gate leading to where the printing is done.
The last attack on Fotoform was on 30 April 1993 when police
officers raided the premises, shut down the printers and
impounded all of its equipment. At the time, Fotoform had been
publishing the “Economic Review” magazine, “Finance” magazine and
the now-defunct “Society” magazine. Shortly after that bombing,
Dominic Martin, the owner of Fotoform, was charged with sedition,
but the charges were later dropped.
