A man has been shot and killed by police in Nairobi’s Central Business District, as tensions flared during protests demanding justice for Albert Ojwang.
A now-viral video shows two police officers confronting the man, who was reportedly selling face masks.
The officers briefly corner him and assault him before one of them opens fire at close range.
The man collapses instantly, masks still clutched in his hand.
The victim’s identity was not immediately apparent.
Similarly, the officers who casually walk away after the incident are only identifiable with the uniforms as their faces remained covered.
Protesters who observed the incident picked the lifeless body of the man, and rushed him to Bliss Medical Centre.
