Kenyan this afternoon took to Twitter to call out the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) for shielding Eastleigh Killer Cop Ahmed Rashid. The hashtag #IpoaCoveringUpRashid was among the top 20 topics on Twitter.
Many Kenyans will remember Rashid as the cold-blooded cop who shot two young boys in Eastleigh in the full glare of a crowd of people a 3 years ago.
While Kenyans accuse Rahid of extra-judicial killings, inside police circles he is praised for reducing crime rates in the Area by 80 per cent. A figure not based on any statistical facts.
Many Kenyan Youths have died in the hands of Killer Cop Ahmed Rashid. Rashid is also accused of committing the killings while under the influence or drugs or alcohol.
UK News website once wrote an article stating that Kenyans are five times more likely to be shot dead by police than by armed robbers, according to a new report that highlights failures in British attempts to help reform the country’s police force.
This was 6 years ago, but the same continues to happen to this day.
Since the curfew began in March, police have killed more Kenyans than the pandemic. Even as IPOA tried to save face here below:
Chair Anne Makori, Covid-19 curfew; Police shall first use non-violent means. Force shall be proportionate. Death, serious injury shall be reported immediately to @IPOA_KE. Failure to report by police is an offence. Following orders is no excuse for unlawful use of force.^MF pic.twitter.com/sKarxYG9nh

The businessman has been crying for justice for a long time now yet nothing has been done. Is he a human of a lesser god? Isn't he protected by the constitution and the law as a Kenyan too?#IpoaCoveringUpRashid pic.twitter.com/N4g4BYnOX1

In April 2017 Rashid was caught on camera shooting a man in Eastleigh.The video went viral but surprisingly no action has ever been taken on the him. I hear of other cops being suspended but i keep asking myself if there anything special about Cop Rashid. #IpoaCoveringUpRashid pic.twitter.com/P70drEvFMI

It is evident that Ali Reported Money Laundering and filed evidence to Pangani Police Station. No Action was taken because Pangani OCPD and Ahmed Rashid receives payments from the illegal money laundering Business. Ali's life was threatened#IpoaCoveringUpRashid
