At least six people including a 12-year-old girl were shot and killed in Kiambu during the protests on Monday.

Among the victims is 12-year-old Bridgit Njoki, who was shot dead while watching TV at home in Ndumberi village.

Her mother Lucy Ngugi said the girl was shot in the head.

“It was around 6:20 pm, we were at home as a family when a stray bullet penetrated our house and caught my daughter on the head,” Ngugi recounted.

She said their home is about two kilometers from the main road where protests were taking place.
