Nairobi Youth Protest in Support of PS Omollo as Osotsi Attack Probe Continues

A section of youth activists in Nairobi on Tuesday held a peaceful demonstration in support of Interior Principal Secretary Raymond Omollo, dismissing allegations linking him to the recent assault on Godfrey Osotsi.

The demonstrators, who gathered in the city Centre, chanted slogans in defense of Omollo and accused some political leaders of making unverified claims about his involvement in the incident.

“Omollo did not attack the senator; these politicians are just lying,” one protester said during the demonstration.

Another stated, “We are defending Omollo because he teaches us peace, not violence.”

Police officers were present at the scene, and the protest proceeded without disruption.
