Narc Kenya leader Martha Karua is calling for an immediate probe into the senseless killing of Sheryl Adhiambo, a medical student caught in the crossfire of a police operation in Huruma.

A shadow of grief has fallen over Huruma following the tragic death of Sheryl Adhiambo, a 21-year-old student at the Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC). Narc Kenya leader Martha Karua has stepped into the fray, demanding a rigorous and transparent investigation into the circumstances that led to Adhiambo being felled by a police bullet. The incident, which occurred during a botched pursuit of a suspected thug, has once again ignited the explosive debate over police negligence and the safety of innocent bystanders in Nairobi’s high-density estates.

"This was not an operation; it was an execution of duty gone horribly wrong," sources close to the family stated. Adhiambo was not a criminal; she was a future healthcare worker whose life was extinguished by the very forces sworn to protect her. The "stray bullet" narrative offered by authorities has done little to quell the anger rising from the streets of Huruma Ngei I.

The Cost of Recklessness

Karua’s intervention elevates this tragedy from a local crime statistic to a national indictment of police conduct. She is demanding not just answers, but accountability for the officers involved. The shooting exposes a systemic failure in urban policing, where the use of lethal force in crowded residential areas is treated with a cavalier disregard for human life.

• The Victim: Sheryl Adhiambo, 21, a promising KMTC student with a bright future ahead of her.
• The Scene: Huruma Ngei I, a densely populated neighborhood where a police chase turned deadly.
• The Demand: A full forensic probe to identify the shooter and prosecute them for manslaughter or murder.

A Pattern of Impunity

As the family prepares to bury their daughter, the silence from the police command is deafening. No arrests have been made, and the internal mechanisms of justice seem to be grinding at their usual glacial pace. For Martha Karua and the residents of Huruma, Sheryl’s death is a painful reminder that in the eyes of the state, the lives of the poor and the aspiring young are often treated as collateral damage.
