Man Run Over by Police Vehicle During Anti-Fuel Price Protests

Shock and tension gripped protesters on Monday after a man was reportedly run over by a police vehicle during ongoing nationwide demonstrations against rising fuel prices and the increasing cost of living.

The incident happened amid chaotic scenes as protesters clashed with anti-riot police during demonstrations that have spread across several parts of the country following the nationwide matatu strike.

Videos and eyewitness accounts circulating online showed angry crowds gathering moments after the incident, with protesters accusing police of using excessive force while attempting to disperse demonstrators from the roads.

The victim was reportedly among a group protesting the sharp increase in fuel prices when the police vehicle allegedly drove into the crowd during the confrontation.

The demonstrations have caused major disruptions in transport and business operations, with roads blocked using burning tires and stones in several towns. Thousands of commuters have been stranded as matatu operators continue protesting the high fuel costs.

The incident reportedly occurred in Nakuru, where tensions have remained high throughout the day as police engaged protesters in running battles using teargas.

The latest incident has triggered fresh outrage online, with many Kenyans demanding accountability and calling for restraint from security officers handling the protests.

Nationwide demonstrations continue to intensify as frustration grows over soaring fuel prices, electricity costs, and the worsening economic situation facing ordinary citizens.
