The Ameru community in Garissa Monday held a demonstration to protest against the killing of their tribesman allegedly by a senior officer. The demonstrators barricaded the road leading to the Garissa police station before they were dispersed by officers. Transport along the Garissa – Nairobi highway was briefly disrupted, with business closing for fear of goons looting their shops as the police engaged the demonstrators in running battles. “Our people came to record a statement yesterday but they were denied access to the station,” Mutea said. Garissa county criminal investigations officer Noah Katumo said that a probe into the matter have already begun.
