Naivasha Police Camp Allegedly Still Detaining Minors 2 Days After The Protest
A prominent influencer in the X space, whose identity has not been revealed, has hinted at potential acts of brutality during the ongoing anti-Finance protests in Naivasha.
With nearly 39,000 followers on the platform, the X user claimed to have received a distress call from a parent seeking assistance for minors allegedly detained at a Naivasha police station.
During the call, the woman shed tears as she described the plight of children detained for participating in protests against the contentious Finance Bill.
She lamented that parents have been denied the right to visit or communicate with their detained children.
“A mother called me in tears seeking help. In the Naivasha protest, kids, some in class 3, were arrested and their parents have been denied access to them.”
This incident has sparked outrage in the X space, with many users demanding answers about why children are being detained in a police station during protests against the Finance Bill.
According to reports, police officers at the station are demanding bribes in exchange for the minors’ release.
Without payment, there is no guarantee that the children will be released.
“Police told parents their kids would be arraigned, then later demanded 100k cash bail in order to free them.”
This development has caused serious concern, prompting a group of lawyers to take immediate action and investigate the situation.
Surprisingly, lawyers who volunteered to investigate the situation confirmed that children are being held at the police station.
“One of the lawyers who’s offered to help has confirmed that truly the kids are being held at the police station. She’s headed there now!”
According to reports, police in Naivasha arrested several youths, including minors, for alleged looting and property destruction during Tuesday’s anti-Finance Bill protests that shook the town.
While the protests began peacefully, they turned violent in the evening, with hundreds of young people reportedly invading a supermarket and stealing valuables.
