A police investigation is underway after a woman in Kibra was allegedly attacked and burned with boiling beans following a heated disagreement linked to “two-term chants” in the area. The shocking incident has left many residents disturbed, with locals calling on authorities to act quickly and ensure justice is served.
According to reports from the area, the incident happened after a disagreement broke out among a group of residents during discussions believed to be connected to politics and leadership debates. Witnesses claim the argument became more intense within a short time before turning violent. It is during the confrontation that the woman was allegedly attacked with hot beans that had just been cooked.
Residents who arrived at the scene said the woman screamed in pain as people rushed to help her moments after the incident. Some neighbours reportedly tried to cool her injuries with water before she was taken for medical attention. The extent of her injuries has not yet been officially confirmed, but the incident has sparked anger and concern among people living in the area.
Police officers who visited the scene have since launched investigations to establish exactly what happened. Detectives are expected to record statements from witnesses and identify all those who were involved in the confrontation. Authorities say they are also trying to determine whether the attack was planned or whether it happened suddenly during the heated exchange.
The case has once again raised concern over increasing political intolerance and violence in some communities. Several residents said disagreements over politics should never lead to physical attacks, adding that people must learn to respect different opinions even during tense discussions. Others called on leaders to encourage peace among supporters to avoid incidents that could divide communities.
Human rights activists and community leaders have also condemned the attack, describing it as inhumane and unacceptable. They have urged police to move with speed and arrest anyone found responsible. Some local leaders warned that careless political statements and chants can sometimes fuel anger among residents if not handled responsibly.
Authorities are continuing with investigations as the woman recovers from her injuries. Police have assured residents that justice will be served and urged members of the public with information about the incident to come forward and assist with the investigation. Meanwhile, residents of Kibra remain shocked by the incident, with many hoping such violence will not happen again in the commuty.
