‘Waende Home Wote’- Maryaprude Speaks On Police Brutality While Re-enforcing Curfew

Maryaprude has thrown shade at police for their recent brutality on netizens while re-enforcing curfew hours. Six police officers have recently been linked to the murder of the Kianjokoma brothers and are still in custody.

The most recent killing has involved a man in Kayole, who is alleged to have been beaten to death by police during curfew hours.  Kayole residents have taken to the streets to protest over the same.

This has culminated to various celebrities such as Maryaprude expressing their rage towards the police for such behaviour. She wrote on her Instagram page;

”Clearly the police are using this curfew as their license to kill innocent people; who most of them are just out here trying to make ends meet because apparently the government decided COVID 19 shows up at 10pm and minds it’s business at 4am. Ama pia it disappears when politicians are out here in our streets .Yaani instead of figuring out how we can all get vaccinated; how people can get jobs back and industries moving, mnamurder tu wasee.

So many people have lost their lives to the police taking advantage of this curfew thing, which I even wonder what they profit from killing people. but hey, remember from 13 year old boy, Yasin Moyo who was in their house kwa balcony with his mom, was shot by a police to the #kianjokomabrothers to now a young man in Kayole who was on his way to his family.

And to all the ones their stories aren’t told. How many lives should be lost until this government gets that there are better ways to prevent the spread of COVID 19 than using such nonsensical ways.
Kila time 60more days za curfew? Yaani?? ni akina nani hukua kwa hizi rooms when such decisions are made? Nani? Waende home wote!”
