His death sparked protests in Majengo, with a group of irate adolescents setting fire to a police vehicle this morning.
A rising cloud of fire was seen in videos and photographs posted on X, but we couldn’t tell if they were administrative offices or police stations.
Last night around 8.30pm in Majengo, Nairobi, Ibrahim Ramadhan, 17 year old student at Kamukunji High, was shot by police while coming from the mosque for night prayers. He succumbed to the gun shot a few hours later at Kenyatta hospital.

Since the suspected murder, furious citizens have taken to the streets, demanding responsibility from those involved.
Shortly after the protests began, Kamukunji Member of Parliament Yusuf Hassan condemned the killing and called on the Independent Oversight Policing Authority (IPOA) to investigate and bring the officer to justice.
Hassan emphasized the essential need for accountability and justice within the National Police Service.
“The senseless killing of a 17-year-old youth with disabilities is a tragedy that deeply saddens and angers me,” Hassan stated.
“I strongly condemn the murder, (in which the boy) was shot in the head by a police officer in Majengo yesterday evening and died shortly after being taken to the hospital. His life, full of potential, was cruelly cut short.”
“I demand a swift and thorough investigation by the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) into this horrific act. The officer responsible must be apprehended and held accountable for his actions,” he asserted.
We’re presently at the city mortuary.
