The Surgery for Boniface Kariuki, the civilian who was shot during protests in Nairobi yesterday, has been reported successful.
Confirming the reports, his father, Jonah, ssaysKariuki is under observation.
Boniface, who was a hawker at Nairobi will likely compare the day of Tuesday as the most terrible one in his life.
The young man was hit by a police bullet on his head during demonstrations in Kenya’s Capital, Nairobi when he was doing his work—mask selling.
Two police officers were seen walking near the hawker, as they tried to gain space to assult him.
Within a while, one of the officers opened fire and shot the victim in his head as the two watched him fall.
Boniface was later declared to have survived, despite reports circulating on Socia Media that he had died on the spot.
The National Police Service announced that Kariuki was admitted at Kenyatta National Hospital in a critical condition.
NPS further announced that the police officer involved in the shooting of the hawker had been arrested.
Even though Boniface was presumably not actively participating in demonstrations, he was intentionally shot by an officer who focused on his head.
The demonstrators were demanding the arrest of DIG Lagat after the shooting of Albert Ojwang who was killed in a police custody.
