Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua says his life is in danger following a Sunday, May 18, incident where unidentified people, believed to be police officers, trailed his convoy with an intention to arrest him.
Gachagua, without providing evidence, said he received credible reports of an impending arrest sanctioned by President William Ruto through Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen. "This information was communicated to the Inspector General of Police, the Director General of the National Intelligence Service (NIS), and the Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI) by the CS Interior Kipchumba Murkomen," said Gachagua. "A killer squad composed of 101 lethal and dreaded officers from the Administration Police and seconded to NIS, accompanied by officers from the DCI, the Anti-terrorism Police Unit, the General Service Unit, and the regular police were deployed," he said.
According to Gachagua, unnamed sources within the police service tipped him off to a plot by the armed officers to plant arms, and other weapons, in their convoy in order to get evidence for processing of trumped up charges.
He further revealed that the hooded officers who had cordoned off various exit points leading out of Gatanga Constituency had plotted his murder through a drug induced death. "The killer squad was joined by their counterparts who are highly trained in the use of biological weapons.
