Police officers and close relatives of the late Ohangla musician Abenny Jachiga at his gravesite for prayers on June 19, 2020. The officers donated food to Jachiga’s family, saying the consignment of maize flour, sugar, cooking oil, rice and other sanitation products were donated by officers through the Regional and County Police Commander. The night burial followed a day-long confrontation between the police and the musician’s friends and relatives over the burial arrangements. Friends and family demanded that Jachiga’s body stays overnight before the burial, contrary to directives from the police. Only Austin Omondi, the deceased brother, who claimed he was forced to help the officers identify his brother’s body, witnessed the dawn burial.
