Chaos erupted at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) on Thursday, October 16, as hundreds of mourners overwhelmed security to receive former Prime Minister Raila Odinga's body. The crowd breached VIP gates, forcing security to form a barrier around the plane.

• Hundreds of staunch supporters proved too overwhelming for authorities to contain at JKIA.
• Chief of the Defence Forces Charles Muriu Kahariri was caught in the crowd and had a brief interaction with civilians.
• 36 ambulances were mobilized by Medical Services PS Dr. Ouma Oluga for emergency services, with an additional Port Health ambulance on standby at JKIA.
