25 suspects have been arrested and arraigned before the Chief Magistrate’s Court at the Ruiru Law Courts following the destruction of public and private properties during the Gen Z memorial protests on June 25, 2025.
During the protests in Kikuyu town, Kiambu County, which marked the first anniversary of the 2024 Gen Z-led anti-Finance Bill demonstrations, protesters set fire to the Kikuyu Law Courts, Kikuyu Sub-County offices, and other government facilities, including vehicles, tractors and tuk-tuks.
Detectives have obtained a 14-day custodial order to complete their investigations.
In response to the violence, detectives launched investigations to identify and apprehend the perpetrators.
Police have also recovered two steel windows, a steel door, and a water tank, all stolen from the County Government’s physical planning offices during the protests. The items were recovered in a bush in the Mai-ii-hii and Kabete areas.
“Detectives continue to pursue more leads to hold more suspects accountable for this egregious crime. The National Police Service urges members of the public to exercise restraint and avoid engaging in destructive behaviour during protests, as such actions will be met with the full force of the law,” the National Police Service stated.
