Champion boxer Raphael Shigali was shot dead by Jogoo Rd Police station cop during Azimio protests
A celebrated boxing champion is among Kenyans who lost their lives during the anti-government protests on Wednesday 12th July 2023.
Raphael Shigali, 35, who is the reigning Nairobi Bantamweight Champion, was allegedly shot dead by police officers near Mogas petrol station on Jogoo Road, Nairobi.
The family, through his elder brother, Omar Shakur aka Immoh, said Thursday that Shigali's body was taken to Chiromo mortuary.
At their residence in Nairobi's Jericho Estate, the family is presently arranging for a funeral.
"""A post-mortem performed today (Thursday) confirms that my younger brother died of a single gunshot wound to the head,"" Immoh added.Immoh pleaded for assistance so that the family may obtain justice.
Shigali is said to have been shot by a police officer working out of Jogoo Road Police Station, according to activists from the Makadara Social, Justice and Information Centre.
Shigali was described as a champion boxer still with great potential and a trainer to many young people in the Jericho and Makadara districts by Mr. Adagala Adagala, a coordinator at the facility, in a release.
It is regrettable that a police officer affiliated with Jogoo Road Police Station executed an innocent youth in our town and a potential boxer without cause. Police officers never operate beyond the law when enforcing it, according to a statement from Madagala."
When a police officer has use greater force to enforce the law, according to Mr. Adagala, the law is unambiguous on that.
The protester characterized the officer who shot the victim as a trigger-happy cop who ought to be detained and accused of first-degree murder.
He urged the Independent Policing and Oversight Authority (Ipoa) to look into the situation and punish the officer.
He declared, ""In Makadara Constituency, we will not permit the development of trigger-happy police personnel to patrol our estates and villages since they offer an obvious grave danger to citizens and especially our youth who are typically mistaken owing to institutional malfunctions."
Three additional youngsters were hurt by police during the anti-government protests, according to Mr. Adagala.
Shigali's death was among numerous examples of police officers being under investigation for employing excessive force, according to IPoa, which stated this yesterday.
"Ipoa has initiated investigations into numerous occurrences that occurred in sections of the country during the huge protests that pitted the police against members of the people,"" the organization stated in a statement."
Shigali spent the majority of Wednesday in the Jericho Social Hall, where he interacted with other boxers and young people while practicing, according to investigations by the Nation.
Soon after 4 o'clock, he left the building and made his way to the Mogas gas station on Jogoo Road, where protesters and police were engaged in a running conflict.
According to his family and friends, he was, as usual, on his way home after training.
We saw him fall to the ground," a bystander who saw the incident claimed."
Young people hurried him to the Makadara Health Center, but they discovered it to be closed.
They were able to secure a car at around 5.30 p.m., and they drove him to the Metropolitan Hospital, where the staff immediately declared him dead.

Does Ruto really know what he is saying and doing? Especially after he stole elections from Raila in August 2022? He says in this video Raila has failed to get elected 6 times but Ruto has not confessed that out of those 6 in 3 instances he played a key role in rigging out Raila and denying him his rightful victory.
Does Ruto know that Vitu kwa ground are very different from this illusion he is trapped in?. Let time tell...

Even as former Kakamega governor Wycliffe Oparanya was released this evening, after his lawyer recorded a statement, Kenyans are still reeling in shock as they try to digest the jolting revelations from Eugene Wamalwa on what Ruto and UDA are really up to against Raila, Azimio and the people of Kenya.

Former Kakamega Governor Wycliffe Oparanya, according to Azimio La Umoja One Kenya Coalition Party Leader Raila Odinga, has been arrested by police. He was later released.
Just yesterday: Oparanya recounts how rowdy youths damaged his car during demonstrations in Busia
Most leading analysts including Pro. Herman Manyora seem to agree that the government of William Ruto is on the losing end of the Maandamano duel with Azimio and Raila Odinga. It is as clear as day.
Police brutality and the unprovoked attack on peaceful demonstrators seems to have attracted the wrong kind of attention (for Ruto) from the international community.

So Ruto police had sharp-shooters in place...
Peter Munya: "We came here to engage citizens on the hardships they are going through and it is our rights as leaders to do so. That's what we came to do but police as usual mobilized to come and disrupt and to visit violence on us and you have sees every stop we made... teargas is being thrown. From Makutano where we started...
And it was needless because there was no violence. Citizens were responding because they are all facing the same problems everybody in the country is facing.
Why was the Azimio rally scheduled to take place at the Kamukunji Grounds in Nairobi yesterday 12th July 2023 abruptly canceled by Raila Odinga, the head of the Azimio la Umoja One Kenya alliance? What was the real reason? Is it true that it was something terrifying? This Lee Makwiny video offers a few clues.

There are key aspects of the Kenyan presidency that cannot be ignored and when they are not given the attention they deserve will always result in serious political instability. This is the same mistake a past president with great potential, Mwai Kibaki, made. But now once again in 2023 the tell-tale signs of 2005 are clearly visible
In this Kumekucha video we go deep into this most fascinating and often ignored issue in Kenya politics.

Over 600 individuals were detained and arrested at various police stations in Nairobi on Wednesday during anti-government demonstrations. Over ten people were shot and killed by police across the nation, and dozens more were hurt during the clashes that erupted on 12th July 2023.
The 12th July maandamano country-wide will go down in the history of Kenya for special attention in any analysis of what happens going forward. And apart from the many bad things that happened, historians in future will also record it as a turning point for the nation called Kenya. One that the Kenya Kwanza government and the UDA strongman William Ruto are yet to see.
Rich Kenyans like Ibrahim Ambwere can be described as clean non-politician Kenyan Multi billionaire. That is something very rare in the country. His is the amazing and highly inspirational story of an orphan boy who started off sweeping the premises of a mason's premises when he was only 10 years old and ended up so rich that the government of Kenya in the 1980s felt threatened by his wealth. He has no prominent presence in Nairobi and lives a frugal lifestyle similar to that of the richest man in the world, Warren Buffet. This is the amazing story full of life lessons from the least known Kenyan multi-billionaire.
Patrick Shaw Untold Story: The inside story of the legendary Nairobi super cop Patrick Shaw. A biographical detailed documentary of the man starting with his early days and arrival in Kenya during the Mau Mau and emergency years to his deep involvement in Kenyan politics in the 1980s. In the end it is brutal Kenyan politics that killed him. He should have just stuck to being an extra-ordinarily good cop.

Pamela Mboya now deceased, Tom Mboya’s widow wrote to Kofi Annan in 2008 as he was mediating peace in Kenya. Part of the letter read; “The assassination of my husband, like others after him, is a matter that has remained shrouded in mystery and speculation, and which has been avoided by successive regimes in this country...”
Later she promised to drop the bombshell in an interview but later changed her mind. This is most probably what she was so hesitant to reveal.

...Then in the midst of all these uncertainties an arrogant Briton came into the country for prayers and started making predictions and prophecies on the country's political future. Few Kenyans had ever heard of the London based preacher. But he spoke with such authority that some Kenyans even got annoyed.
On the shadow of the 12th July maandamano country-wide, UDA insiders are putting on a brave face and yet in the background are terribly worried about Azimio's looming check-mate move. A legal coup linked to the 10Million signatures taking advantage of a unique constitution that in their view gives too much power to the people.

The saying "the dead don't tell tales" has come to haunt police and a Kakamega town when the body of a lady who had been missing for more than a week was found after its location was revealed in a dream.
The strange episode has re-ignited the long-running argument over whether the dead may speak to the living and the applicability of "their messages" to those they may have talked to.
Police are unsure of whether to treat the person to whom the revelation was made as a whistle-blower or a suspect as the villagers speculate that the dream may be a testament to the deceased's desire for a proper funeral and her determination to see her killers brought to justice.

Sometimes in politics, events and developments that unfold quietly behind the scene have the biggest impact. Like the human factor (which Chairman Mao once said was a key determinant in any great undertaking.).

Despite the William Ruto regime being in denial, mounting evidence indicates that this is a government that has already been well and truly cornered. Even as Kenyans brace themselves for the Wednesday 12th July Maandamanos country-wide, it is very clear where all this is headed and how it will end.
This revealing Kumekucha video exposes the naked truth that many have ignored, even as interior CS Kithure Kindiki changes tune late in the day.
For instance, Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International Kenya have consistently noted that Kenyan authorities have not done enough to hold police officers and their commanders accountable for killings and attacks on protestors and other persons.
