The National Police Service has called on residents of Huruma in Nairobi to desist from violence after the destruction of property witnessed following the death of a KMTC student allegedly shot dead by police.
According to the police, on February 7, 2026, at around 08:00, a member of the public reported at Huruma Police Station that five young suspects known to him had attacked him, robbed him of a silver chain and Ksh 1,800 in cash, and threatened to kill him.
Police dispatched to the scene arrested two suspects.
Further enquiries led to the arrest of two more suspects at around 19:30.
During this second arrest, one of the suspects raised an alarm and incited other youths nearby, who responded by throwing stones and other projectiles at the police in an attempt to obstruct the officers from executing their duties, leaving an officer injured.
The officers were forced to fire warning shots into the air.
A short while later, information was received indicating that a member of the public had been fatally injured during the confrontation.
The deceased was identified as Sheryl, and police called on residents to remain calm following the breakdown of law and order that has been witnessed in the area, with reports of two vehicles being set alight today.
