Kenyan artist Octopizzo has joined calls for justice following the police shooting of Boniface Kariuki, a 22-year-old street vendor injured during protests in Nairobi demanding accountability after the death of blogger Albert Ojwang in police custody.

• 16 protest-related casualties were reported at Kenyatta National Hospital, with no clear update on Kariuki's status.
• Octopizzo, along with other celebrities, is amplifying the message of resistance against police brutality and rising living costs.
• Diverse public figures, including King Kaka and Elsa Majimbo, are actively supporting youth-led protests across social media platforms.
