Nuru Okanga Badly Beaten in Attack, Shares Hospital Photos Showing Swollen Face and Injuries

Photos have emerged showing political commentator and Raila Odinga supporter Nuru Okanga nursing serious-looking injuries following an alleged attack.

Okanga broke his silence after reportedly being assaulted by unknown individuals while travelling home, leaving him requiring medical attention.

The outspoken Bunge la Mwananchi member shared photographs showing his condition as he received treatment at a hospital.

Some of the images captured him with a visibly swollen face, bloodstains and a large bandage covering part of his face near the eye.

The photographs sparked concern among his supporters, with many seeking updates about his condition following the disturbing incident.

According to a statement shared on his Facebook page on Sunday, November 15, Okanga confirmed that unknown individuals had attacked him.

“I have been attacked by unknown people on my way home. I am currently in hospital,” he stated.

Although he did not disclose the exact location of the incident, the activist suggested that the attackers might have intended to silence him.

He, however, maintained that the incident would not discourage him from expressing his opinions or continuing with his public activities.

In his message, Okanga turned to his Christian faith, quoting Isaiah 54:17 to express confidence in God’s protection.

“No weapon formed against me shall prosper,” he wrote, drawing encouragement from the biblical passage.

He further thanked God for preserving his life, saying his faith remained unshaken despite the frightening experience.

“They may have wanted to silence me, but God is my protector. I thank Him for the gift of life,” Okanga stated.

The political commentator insisted that his spirit remained strong and that he would not allow the incident to derail his journey.

He also delivered a defiant message to those who might have wanted to intimidate him through the alleged attack.

“We shall not be intimidated, we shall not surrender. God is not finished with me yet!” he declared.

The activist is widely recognised for his vocal support of the late former Prime Minister Raila Odinga and his involvement in political discussions.

His membership in Bunge la Mwananchi has also seen him participate in conversations concerning leadership, governance and other national issues.

However, the circumstances surrounding the latest incident remain unclear, including the identities of those responsible and their possible motive.

Okanga has not publicly provided details about the number of attackers or whether he had reported the incident to police.

There was also no immediate official statement regarding the alleged assault or confirmation of whether investigations had commenced.

Meanwhile, Kenyans await further updates about his recovery as photographs of his injuries continue attracting public attention.
