At least six people including a 12-year-old girl were shot and killed in Kiambu during Saba Saba Day protests on Monday.
The victims’ families are calling for justice over the deaths.
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.
Njoki died while being resuscitated at St. Brigid’s Hospital.
The family is devastated and demanding justice for the death.
Another victim, Dennis Mutuma Mwangi, 23, was shot dead outside his home in Kiambu town.
His mother, Friday Kawira, tearfully stated, “My son was shot from the back, meaning he was running away and it came through to the neck killing him instantly right outside our home.”
She insisted her son was not protesting but had just stepped outside to see what was happening after washing his clothes.
