A man beaten by Police Monday in Nairobi during the CORD IEBC protests has allegedly died.
The man, according to reports is called Ben Ngatia from Ndumberi Kiambu.
It is alleged that he was part of a group of people that had been brought to the scene of the protests in Nairobi to disrupt the efforts of CORD leaders seeking to have the IEBC scrapped.
In a video that went viral, Police were seen clobbering him while he lay still on the ground.
The identity of the officers is yet to be known.
” Sad to hear that the protester who was brought to town by the Jubilee Coalition to disrupt the CORD protests has died. He is Ben Ngatia from Ndumberi,” the Wanjiku Revolution tweeted Tuesday.
Central Police boss Paul Wanjama was unaware of the incident.
” We are yet to receive any reports,” he said.
The protests were met with fierce force Monday by Police who allegedly used live ammunition against supporters of the CORD Coalition.
