Githurai’s Officer Commanding Station (OCS) has denied any mass shooting and has urged Kenyans to avoid spreading fake news following the alleged Githurai 45 massacre.
He asserted that there were no orders for Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) to engage in such actions and emphasized that misinformation only fuels unnecessary panic and violence.
According to the OCS, his station was only notified about police officers returning to their barracks in Kagawa Sukari. He stressed that the police presence was part of routine operations and not related to any massacre.

Despite the OCS’s statements, the public remains skeptical. A viral video on Twitter has captured a grieving mother condemning President William Ruto following the Githurai 45 massacre, where 22 people were killed in an alleged KDF shooting last night.
The incident occurred hours after Ruto pledged to protect Kenyans from rogue elements posing as peaceful protesters.
In the emotional video, the mother, who lost her son in the tragedy, is seen and heard telling President Ruto that he will face death one day as well. She questions the President about the Finance Bill 2024, suggesting that his actions are reckless and endangering lives.
Yesterday, chaos erupted as protesters attempted to storm Parliament buildings, drawing comparisons to the Capitol Hill riots in the United States in 2021. During the confrontation, 13 bodies were reportedly collected outside Parliament, and hundreds were injured.
The incident has sparked outrage and calls for accountability, with many questioning the use of lethal force against civilians. The grief-stricken mother’s video continues to circulate widely, intensifying the debate on the government’s handling of the situation.
The discrepancy between the official account and eyewitness reports has deepened the demand for a transparent investigation into the events at Githurai 45.
The conflicting narratives have only served to heighten the tension, with many calling for a thorough inquiry to uncover the truth and ensure justice for the victims and their families.
