{{In Kenya, a 23-year old woman was killed after being thrown off a moving Commuter bus (matatu) over a Sh10 fare dispute in Nairobi\u2019s Kawangware estate.}}<\/p>\n
The incident sparked protests from locals who burnt the matatu.<\/p>\n
The woman was thrown off a matatu after a Sh10 fare dispute and was ran over by an oncoming one at around 7am Monday.<\/p>\n
According to eyewitnesses, the woman had Sh20 that she intended to pay as her fare to the city centre, but the tout told her the she had to pay Sh30.<\/p>\n
This prompted an argument before the tout reportedly pushed her out of the moving vehicle. She fell on the road and was run over by an oncoming matatu.<\/p>\n
The driver sped off leaving the one that ran over her at the scene. <\/p>\n
The crowd that had gathered at the scene started protesting and set the mini-bus on fire.<\/p>\n
Police arrived at the scene after the crowd turned rowdy. Business was paralysed for hours as the youth engaged police in running battles.<\/p>\n
Police said the driver of the matatu was arrested after he went to report the incident.<\/p>\n
Dagoretti DC Cornelius Wamalwa who arrived at the scene appealed for calm saying they were tracing the matatu whose tout pushed the woman off.<\/p>\n
The body of the unidentified woman was taken to the City mortuary.<\/p>\n
