A few days ago Saumu Mbuvi exposed the police for using excessive force while handling Kenyans during the curfew hours. Her statement not only bashed the police but exposed them for shooting her father in law.
According to Saumu, her father in law was shot while trying to head back home just a few minutes after the curfew hours found him outside. As seen on her post, Saumu shamed the police for urging Kenyans to protest against acts.
