During the Nane Nane protests in Nairobi on August 8, 2024, CNN International Correspondent Larry Madowo alleged that Kenyan police officers deliberately targeted him and his team. While reporting from the Central Business District (CBD), Madowo, who was wearing press protective gear, suddenly shouted and touched his shoulder as if he had been struck by something. He repeated this action twice in a video he later shared on social media.
Madowo claimed that a fragment hit him after the police aimed at him and his crew at least twice while they were covering the protests. The journalist expressed his frustration, stating, "Kenyan police targeted me directly today. I was hit by a fragment after officers aimed at me and my CNN team at least twice while covering protests in Nairobi."
