At least three people have been killed and several others injured when police opened fire during chaotic scenes at Kasarani Stadium, where mourners had gathered to view the body of former Prime Minister Raila Odinga. Odinga, a prominent politician in Kenya for over three decades, died in India of a heart attack.

Violence erupted after frustrated supporters surged toward the VIP section, prompting police to fire live rounds and teargas to disperse the crowd. Several injured people were treated by National Youth Service officers before being evacuated.

The incident followed earlier unrest at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport when Odinga’s body arrived from India. The tragedy occurred as tens of thousands queued to honor the late opposition leader ahead of a state memorial at Nyayo Stadium and his burial in Bondo.
