In Kawangware, Nairobi, a very sad incident has shocked many people after a 12-year-old boy was killed by a group of angry men who are believed to be bodaboda riders. The young boy had reportedly been sent to a nearby shop to withdraw money when the tragedy happened.
According to reports, the boy was walking while using his phone and scrolling on TikTok when two ladies allegedly snitched his phone.
When the boy noticed and shouted for help, the two women reportedly started shouting “thief” and pointed at him, which made people around turn against him.
Moments later, a group of about eight men arrived at the scene. Instead of trying to understand what had really happened, they are said to have started beating the young boy.
Witnesses claim that one man was heard saying “piga kichwa akufe haraka,” encouraging more violence. The situation quickly became worse as the boy was overwhelmed and brutally attacked.
The boy later died from the injuries he suffered during the attack. The incident has left the community in deep shock, with many people questioning how such a young child could be treated in such a cruel way without proper investigation.
The mother of the boy is now calling on authorities to step in and arrest all those responsible for her son’s death.
Many Kenyans on social media have also expressed anger, demanding justice and the arrest of everyone involved, including the two women who allegedly triggered the false accusation that led to the tragic killing.
