🇰🇪 | Kenyan police have arrested six activists who carried coffins to their police chief's office in Nairobi. The coffins, marked "Why kill Kenyans?", were thrown over the gate of Jogoo House on Monday. Protesters demanded the resignation of Inspector General Douglas Kanja over deaths in custody. Julius Kamau, a human rights activist, chained himself to the gate. Officers carried him away as he shouted "Siogopi bana" — I am not afraid. All six were booked at Central Police Station, where blogger Albert Ojwang died in custody in June 2025. At least 20 people have died in police custody so far in 2026, according to the Independent Medico-Legal Unit, matching its total for all of 2025. Kanja, who commanded Kenya's paramilitary riot unit before his appointment, ordered on August 12 that record-keepers, cell sentries and duty officers be suspended after custodial deaths, the lowest ranks in any station. Kenya's police oversight body has secured 47 convictions from 3,988 officers investigated since 2011. The United States opened a grant of up to $1.6m in July to train Kenyan police in crowd control.
