In a disturbing turn of events, AFP News Agency journalist Collins Olunga was hot and injured during the ongoing protests against the Finance Bill 2024 in Nairobi.
The incident occurred on June 25, as demonstrators from various countries gathered in the CBD to voice their opposition to the proposed tax hikes.
A video shared by Ali Mwamvita Manzu on X (formerly Twitter) captures the aftermath of the shooting.
Olunga was seen inside a vehicle receiving medical attention. A medical officer attending to his wound while voices in the background express concern over the significant amount of blood loss.
The journalist, visibly struggling and breathing heavily, appears, to have been shot in the arm, which he was still using to hold camera.
