Wednesday, June 24, 2025 - Chaos erupted in Kikuyu during the anti-Government protests, as angry demonstrators torched the District Officer’s (DO’s) office and the Kikuyu Law Courts, sending flames and thick smoke billowing into the air.
The rowdy protesters, chanting loud anti-Ruto slogans,
stormed the Government premises after overpowering anti-riot police officers
who had been deployed to contain the situation.
With security forces retreating under pressure, the crowd
set fire to the buildings, and within minutes, flames engulfed the structures
as onlookers recorded the dramatic scenes on their phones.
Reports indicate that important Government documents
were destroyed in the blaze, though officials have yet to confirm the
extent of the damage.
The incident has sparked outrage and debate online, with
some Kenyans condemning the destruction of public institutions, while others
see it as a powerful message of frustration from a country at boiling point.
