Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has claimed he narrowly escaped an alleged state-sponsored scheme to assassinate him using biological agents.
According to Gachagua, a squad that had reportedly been sent to attack him consisted of experts in biological weapons, and they were to poison him through inhaled chemicals that would paralyse his brain over three months.
