Abdikadir Saadia was among the victims of the violent crackdown during the anti‑Finance Bill protests in Nairobi on 25 June 2024. He was shot in the head during the protests. Initially, his death was misclassified as a road accident in official records. However, an autopsy confirmed that he died from a gunshot wound to the head. His family identified his body and subsequently filed a complaint with the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA), seeking justice. This case is part of a broader pattern where police-related deaths during protests were allegedly misclassified to obscure the use of excessive force.
