A chilling video has surfaced, sparking outrage after it captured a police officer dancing in apparent celebration mere moments after shooting 26-year-old Dennis Muthui during protests in Majengo Gorofani, Kamukunji Sub-county, on Wednesday.
The disturbing footage shows Muthui writhing in agony on the ground, clutching his stomach where he was reportedly shot, just meters away from the officer.
The officer, still holding his firearm, can be seen moving rhythmically in what appears to be a celebratory dance, drawing sharp condemnation from witnesses and viewers alike.
The incident occurred amid escalating tensions during the protests, though specific details about the events leading up to the shooting remain unclear.
Initial reports confirm that Muthui sustained a gunshot wound to the stomach.
His family, devastated by the loss, is now awaiting the results of a postmortem examination conducted on Friday.
Local authorities have yet to release an official statement regarding the video or the officer’s actions, but the footage has already ignited widespread calls for accountability.
The incident has further intensified scrutiny of police conduct during public demonstrations in the region.
