Security Incidents and Disturbances Occur During Mourning Events - October 2025
Several incidents were reported during the period of mourning for Raila Odinga. The family of Jidah Burka, a 42-year-old man, is seeking answers after he was shot dead at Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani, during the public viewing of Odinga's body. At the Kenya-Tanzania border, a crowd stormed immigration offices demanding the release of Tanzanian opposition leader John Heche, who was reportedly detained while en route to the burial. Following the funeral service in Bondo, hundreds of mourners also stormed the private gravesite at Kang'o Ka Jaramogi after dignitaries had departed, defying the family's requests for a private ceremony.
