Activists and the father of a Kenyan civilian who was shot at close range by police during the latest protests over the alleged killing of a blogger in custody on Wednesday demanded for accountability and called for the officer who shot him to be charged.
Boniface Kariuki's father, Jonah Kariuki, told journalists his only son remained under intensive care after he underwent surgery on Tuesday night. He said the bullet went through his son's head, just above the ear, but the surgery had been “successful” and “his heart was beating.”
