Ripoti ya uchunguzi wa maiti imefichua kuwa Vincent Ayomo, mwanafunzi wa umri wa miaka 28, aliuawa na risasi iliyopiga kichwani wakati wa maandamano ya upinzani huko Kitengela mnamo Februari 15, 2026. Seneta wa Nairobi Edwin Sifuna ameshutumu polisi kwa matumizi ya teargas na risasi za kuuawa, huku Waziri Mkuu wa Mambo ya Ndani Kipchumba Murkomen akilaumu goons walioletwa kutoka Machakos. Mamlaka ya IPOA imezindua uchunguzi wa kasi juu ya tukio hilo.

Vincent Ayomo, fundi wa magari na baba, aliuawa wakati wa maandamano yaliyoongozwa na Seneta wa Nairobi Edwin Sifuna na viongozi wengine wa chama cha Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) huko Kitengela, Kaunti ya Kajiado, mnamo Februari 15, 2026. Ripoti ya uchunguzi wa maiti iliyofanywa na wataalamu wa serikali Jumapili ilionyesha kuwa risasi iliiingia kupitia jicho la kushoto, ikavunja uti wa mgongo na kuharibu ubongo wake, na kutoka nyuma ya kichwa, na kusababisha kifo chake mara moja.

Ayomo alipigwa risasi alipokuwa akirudi kazini kupata sehemu za vipuri, kulingana na familia yake na mashahidi. Wakati huo kulikuwa na mvua kubwa, na polisi walikuwa wakivuta umati kwa kutumia teargas. Sifuna alisema Februari 16 kuwa Ayomo aliuawa na maafisa wa polisi waliopelekwa kutoa teargas na risasi za kuuawa. "Tumeamua kufuata haki kwa ajili ya familia ya Ayomo," alisema Sifuna, akishutumu utawala wa Rais Ruto kwa "ugomvi wa serikali". Maandamano hayo yalivutia viongozi kama Babu Owino, Caleb Amisi, James Orengo, Richard Onyonka na Godfrey Osotsi.

Kwa upande mwingine, Murkomen alisema Februari 18 huko Naivasha kwamba polisi hawakujulishwa rasmi kuhusu maandamano, na kwamba goons walioletwa kutoka Machakos walisababisha machafuko. "Mkutano wa hivi karibuni huko Kitengela ulikuwa mbaya kwa sababu ripoti haikupewa maafisa wa polisi ili waweze kutoa usalama," alisema Murkomen. Sifuna alijibu Februari 19 katika bunge, akidai alimjulisha Murkomen kupitia WhatsApp na kundi la WhatsApp la Seneti kuhusu maandamano ya Kakamega ijayo, na kushutumu madai ya kutolalamika.

Sheria ya Amri za Umma inahitaji taarifa rasmi kwa polisi angalau siku tatu kabla ya tukio. IPOA, chini ya Naibu Mwenyekiti Ann Mwangi, imetuma timu ya wachunguzi huko Kajiado, ikionyesha wasiwasi juu ya kifo na majeraha. Tukio hilo ni sehemu ya mzozo unaoongezeka kati ya upinzani na serikali juu ya usalama wa mikutano ya kisiasa.

Opozisheni wanasema watu wawili waliuawa, ingawa ripoti moja inathibitisha kifo cha Ayomo pekee. Uchunguzi unaendelea.
