The Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) has launched investigations into deaths linked to recent fuel protests.
The authority is probing the death of 23-year-old Brian Ndung’u Njung’e, who died while in custody at Kiambu Police Station, the fatal shooting of Martin Rigii Karuu in Kiambu, and other protest-related shootings across the country.
In a statement dated May 30, IPOA said it monitored police operations during demonstrations held on May 18 against hiked fuel prices and their economic impact on Kenyans.
