NAIROBI (Reuters) -A number of mourners were injured in a stampede at the state funeral of Kenyan opposition leader Raila Odinga on Friday as a crowd surged to view his body, local broadcaster NTV reported, with thousands attending the tribute.
Odinga commanded a passionate following in the East African nation and his memorial ceremonies have attracted huge crowds. Three people shot dead by security forces a day earlier when mourners breached a gate of the stadium hosting a public viewing of his body.
