The demolition comes barely a few weeks after a section of residents confronted armed police officers who had planned to evict them.
The more than 300 residents thwarted efforts by police to demolish their homes following a land dispute.
A scuffle ensued when the officers arrived, claiming they had received orders from the government's parastatal NSSF to flatten their houses.
The angry locals armed with a court order and ownership documents of the 50-acre piece of land thwarted the eviction bid insisting it was in breach of the rule of law.
They questioned why the officers said they were from the Nairobi region and wanted to evict them without a court order or any relevant document. After a lengthy standoff, the officers left quietly.
The tens of uniformed masked armed police officers harassed the occupants claiming the land belonged to a government agency while invoking names of State House officials.
However, the officer returned Friday in the wee hours and demolished the houses leaving the residents out in the cold.
The residents now appeal to concerned government agencies to intervene to ensure court orders are honoured to the latter.
They also appealed to the director of criminal investigations (DCI) officers to launch speedy investigations on land grabbing cartels eying communal land in Athi River.
