Moments after dignitaries, including President William Ruto, departed, hundreds of mourners stormed the private gravesite of former prime minister Raila Odinga at Kang'o Ka Jaramogi in Bondo, Siaya County. This intrusion defied the family's repeated requests for a private ceremony.

• Mourners breached security, destroying wreaths and decorations, while chanting and dancing, with some climbing onto the mausoleum roof.
• The crowd, described as "excited mourners," overwhelmed security personnel, bringing seven bulls, spears, shields, and green leaves, symbolizing a ritual to "chase away demons."
• The incident echoed a similar event on October 16, when thousands stormed JKIA upon Raila's body arrival, forcing a change in viewing location.

A dramatic scene unfolded at the Kenya-Tanzania border when a crowd from both nations stormed immigration offices demanding the release of Tanzanian opposition leader John Heche. Heche was reportedly detained while en route to attend Raila Odinga's burial in Bondo, Siaya County.

• John Heche, Deputy Chairperson of Chama Cha Demokrasia na Maendeleo (CHADEMA), was apprehended on Saturday afternoon at the Isibania One Stop Border Post.
• Heche accused the Tanzanian government, led by President Samia Suluhu, of instigating his apprehension without legal procedure, stating he was blocked from entering Kenya and his passport was confiscated.
• A large group of Kenyans staged protests outside the immigration offices in Isebania, demanding his immediate release.
• Following protests and police intervention, Heche was released and continued his journey to Bondo for former Prime Minister Raila Odinga's funeral, scheduled for Sunday, October 19, 2025.

The family of Jidah Burka, a 42-year-old man shot dead last Thursday at Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani, during Raila Odinga's public viewing, is seeking answers. Burka's mother, Boni Bori, recounts her son left home excited to pay his last respects to Raila but never returned.

• Jidah Burka was the sole breadwinner for his wife and three children.
• Human rights groups, including Vocal Africa CEO Hussein Khalid, are calling for immediate investigations by IPOA into the police's excessive use of force.
• Three people have been confirmed dead, and approximately 100 people sustained injuries during the chaos.
