The burial of 12-year-old Bridgit Njoki Wainaina took place on July 15, 2025, in Ndumberi, Kiambu County. Bridgit was fatally shot by a stray bullet that penetrated the roof of her home during the Saba Saba protests on July 7, 2025. She died within an hour of being struck while watching television at home. Bridgit was a pupil at Benson Njau Primary School and a member of the Our Lady of Fatima Catholic Church in Ndumberi. Her death has prompted widespread grief and calls for justice and police accountability. The funeral was attended by family, fellow pupils, and community members. Alongside Bridgit, another protest victim, 24-year-old Joseph Kagiri, was also buried in Kiambu County. The incident is part of broader unrest linked to the protests, which have resulted in over 70 deaths since June 2025, including civilians targeted by stray bullets in homes and crowds. The events have sparked intense criticism of the Kenyan government's handling of protests and law enforcement tactics.
