Seven record statements over fatal shooting of political mobilizer

Seven people, including two bodyguards attached to Youth Affairs Principal Secretary Fikirini Jacobs, have recorded statements with police following the fatal shooting of political mobilizer Cecil Ouma in Nairobi. Ouma was shot dead inside a vehicle on Tuesday along Park Road in an incident allegedly linked to an altercation shortly after the Principal Secretary left a youth engagement event in Kariokor. Ouma’s family has accused the bodyguards, who have since been disarmed, of using excessive force against him. They claim Ouma had been mobilizing youths to attend the event. Police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the shooting. Gatete Njoroge reports.
