Mourners Breach Security at JKIA as Raila Odinga's Body Arrives, Disrupting Military Honors - October 2025

Chaos erupted at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) upon the arrival of former Prime Minister Raila Odinga's body. A crowd forcefully gained access into JKIA, and mourners breached a security barrier at the main entrance. Thousands reportedly broke protocol, with some breaching security to access the plane that transported the body. A planned military honors ceremony for Raila Odinga was disrupted when crowds interfered as his body was removed from the plane. President William Ruto was present at the airport but did not receive the body due to the disruptions.
