The Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) has urged Kenyans to exercise restraint following a surge in violence against police officers, including a fatal incident at State House, Nairobi.

• An officer attached to the General Service Unit (GSU) at Gate D of State House was killed by a bow-and-arrow attack from a 56-year-old man identified as Kithuka, who disguised himself as a street family member.
• Another GSU officer died at a hotel near Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) after a physical altercation with a civilian, found submerged in a water-filled trench.
• The IPOA condemned these incidents, which also saw physical assaults on officers and damage to the Kiganjo Police Station, urging the public to use legally established channels for grievances.
