A man was on Tuesday shot dead by anti-riot police officers along Moi Avenue in Nairobi CBD during demonstrations calling for justice for the teacher Albert Ojwang.
The shooting was captured in a video circulating widely on social media showing two police officers who had cornered the hawker selling face masks along Moi Avenue.
The officers in anti riot gear began raining blows on him before shooting him at point blank range.
One of the officers who had already cocked his rifle, shot the man before fleeing the scene.
Following the incident, several good Samaritans were seen carrying the man in an apparent attempt to save his life.
The video has since elicited an outcry from the public as they call for justice against police brutality.
The Law Society of Kenya (LSK) president, Faith Odhiambo, also termed the situation “Unacceptable.”
Police said they are investigating the incident.
The incident is likely to cause more uproar given the protests were called to protest the killing of Ojwang who died in police cells after an assault.
More chaos broke out as goons robbed pedestrians and protesters in the city for the better part of Tuesday.
Police were overwhelmed by the chaos or were part of the goons who had been brought to fight the protesters.
