This segment of "This is the Point" discusses the recent claims by activists that the police are conducting extrajudicial killings in various parts of Nairobi. This discussion stems from an article in the Daily Nation which reported that Death in the hands of police officers has become a common occurrence. In many instances, the officers have claimed that the victims, most of them in their teens, were thugs who were unwilling to surrender but witnesses and relatives have a different story. Mothers and widows of these victims are now saying enough is enough and are calling for accountability. In many of these cases, the narrative is the same. A young man going about his duties. Police officers apprehend him. Victim disappears. Body is found in a mortuary with a bullet wound. Watch more NTV Kenya videos at ntv.co.ke and nation.co.ke. Follow @ntvkenya on Twitter.
