What happened in Nairobi CBD?
On June 12, protesters entered the road to protest against the death of blogger Albert Ojwang, who had been killed inside a police station in Nairobi.
Meanwhile, when Kirima was leaving work he met about 50 young men and previously crossed the way, but after a few meters, one of them claimed that Kirima resembled a secret soldier. That’s where violence broke out.
Some of the protesters were very angry and refused to listen to what he would say. They insisted that he was protesters.
“I raised my hands in the air to say that I was not a police officer, but they searched my pockets and took everything I had. He told TUKO.co.ke.
“I thought yesterday was my last day. I tried to talk to them, but they didn’t want to listen to me. I could be in the mortuary, and I call him my angel,” He said.
Turning to Barasa, Kirima said that she could not pay her enough to save her life.
“I may not be able to pay you, but there is a God who pays you. You helped me, but you didn’t even know me; my family thanked you. he added.
