Dozens were injured, many seriously, at the state funeral of Kenya’s revered opposition leader, Raila Odinga, on Friday as crowds rushed to see his coffin, AFP journalists saw.
It came a day after at least three people were killed when security forces opened fire to disperse a crowd that had gathered to see Odinga’s body in a separate ceremony.
The 80-year-old died from a suspected heart attack at a health clinic in southern India on Wednesday, triggering a huge outpouring of grief for a man known affectionately as “Baba” (father) by many Kenyans.
