To mention but a few;Yassin Hussein Moyo, a 13-year-old got hit by a stray bullet on April 29, overlooking police on patrol through his apartment balcony. Well, sad as it is, Yassin died shortly after being admitted at the Nairobi Hospital. Did he deserve it? Of course not. "My child was shot on the balcony at home, he wasn't even on the street," Yassin's father, Hussein Moyo Molte recounted.On May 27, Samuel Maina, a barber residing in Kahawa West, had his nose brutally broken and items stolen by police officers who were purportedly enforcing the 7am- 5pm curfew, for allegedly being 13 minutes late. Mr. Maina was on his way home, "They beat me up and as I was crying for help, I could hear people shouting at them and asking them to let me proceed to my house".No sooner had we began digesting Samuel Maina's story than Boniface Mwangi, a human rights activist, on Monday evening tweeted, "Kenya Police have shot dead a homeless man in Mathare, Bondeni area.
