Four people shot by police in Kisumu during last day of Azimio protests

Four people are nursing police gunshot wounds at the Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Teaching and Referral Hospital (JOOTRH) on the last day of protests called by the Azimio la Umoja One Kenya coalition leadership.

Among the four include a medical officer (clinician) attached to JOOTRH who was shot in the Carwash area.

According to the hospital management, the medic was at his house when a stray bullet caught him on the left shoulder.

The three others were shot in Kasawino, Kondele and Manyatta areas respectively and are all set to undergo surgical operations.

There have been reports of anti-riot police officers storming residential areas like Manyatta, Kondele Bandani, and Nyalenda beating up locals.

Meanwhile, the medics at JOOTRH have managed to remove 12 bullets from the body of an 18-year-old man who was shot in Nyalenda during Wednesday’s protests. The hospital says he is in stable condition.
