Police are investigating an incident where a matatu carrying mourners had its windows smashed during a dispute at Lang’ata Cemetery in Nairobi. The incident occurred on September 29, 2026, after a driver reported his Toyota Shark being attacked as he left the cemetery. Police rescued the matatu, which was filled with mourners who had attended a burial ceremony.
It was discovered that the mourners had used concrete for another burial without permission, angering the concrete owners and leading to a confrontation at the cemetery. The matatu, traveling behind other vehicles, was attacked as it departed and its windows were shattered. No injuries were reported. Meanwhile, in Meru, a separate incident involved a group allegedly invading a dairy society office and damaging property at Kathorine Factory grounds in Imenti North.
The group, believed to be local residents opposing the dairy office's official opening, damaged the building, cut down trees, and barricaded access roads. The incident, which occurred on September 29, 2026, also did not result in any deaths or injuries. Police in both cases are currently investigating the circumstances surrounding the events.
