Protesters storm Utimo Sacco offices after man allegedly pushed from moving matatu

Wafula died two weeks ago near Space Mall in Umoja after allegedly being pushed from a moving matatu following a dispute over payment.

His colleagues say Wafula had helped the crew free their vehicle from deep mud but was allegedly denied his agreed payment.

When he boarded the matatu to demand his money, the conductor allegedly shoved him out, causing him to fall and sustain fatal head injuries.

The confrontation at the Utimo Sacco offices prompted a heavy police deployment as protesters blocked entrances and demanded accountability.

The Buruburu OCPD says investigations are ongoing, with the matatu traced, impounded and subjected to forensic examination as police intensify the search for the crew.

Meanwhile, Wafula’s body remains at the Mama Lucy Hospital morgue, with his family and colleagues appealing for financial and logistical support to facilitate a dignified burial.
