Isaac Njuguna Mbugua, aged 43, was shot dead on 27 June 2024 during the anti‑Finance Bill protests in Kiambu County, Kenya. He was among the victims of the violent crackdown on demonstrators. 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.
