Looting, extortion, burning of property witnessed during protests over high fuel prices

What was meant to be a peaceful protest against soaring fuel prices turned into a looting spree, with criminals taking advantage of the chaos to rob innocent Kenyans in broad daylight, burning vehicles, and barricading roads. At least seven counties recorded cases of looting, with business owners counting losses to the tune of millions of shillings. Extortion was also reported in Kiambu County, where goons blocked roads and charged motorists before allowing them to pass through illegal roadblocks.
