lawyer representing two police officers accused of assault and attempted shooting in Nairobi has officially withdrawn from the case, citing a wave of threats allegedly linked to the online youth movement commonly referred to as “Gen Z.”
Felix Keaton, who was defending officers Masinde Barasa and Duncan Kiprono, confirmed on Wednesday that he had stepped down from the high-profile case, citing serious concerns for his personal and family’s safety.
Barasa and Kiprono were caught on video allegedly assaulting Boniface Kariuki, a Nairobi street vendor, in an incident that has triggered widespread outrage across the country.
