The father of Boniface Kariuki, the young man who was shot by an anti-riot police officer at the Nairobi Central Business District (CBD) yesterday, has expressed frustration over his son's situation.

Kariuki's father, while addressing journalists on Wednesday morning, revealed that he received reports of his son's condition yesterday evening through social media platforms.

According to him, at around 8 pm, he received a phone call from Kariuki's close associate, who confirmed that indeed his son had been shot by police officers in the city centre. "I received a phone call from his friends who told me that my son had been shot.

At first, when I saw his image on social media, I could not promptly confirm if it was him; however, I later identified him," Kairuki's father narrated.
