6 month old Baby Pendo was pronounced dead yesterday – a few days after battling for her life at the Aga Khan hospital where she had been admitted at the ICU.
Samantha, an innocent child who was probably learning how to crawl faced the wrath of a post elections violence that claimed her life after a few characters decided to riot in kisumu to protest the presidential results released by the IEBC.
From the reports making rounds on social media, Baby Samantha Pendo suffered head injuries which she received from a police officer who allegedly hit her and her parents in Nyalenda slum where the police were trying to stop the riots.
Her death has left many blaming the kisumu rioters and at the same time disappointed by the police for having used extreme force to deal with the protesters.
Samantha Pendo did not deserve to die and her precious life would still be intact if only Kenyans would have paid attention to the events that took place in 2007/2008! It’s time to stay awoke!
