Two journalists from the Nation Media Group (NMG) have claimed their lives are in danger after running an exposé on a controversial church in Nairobi, which is reportedly scamming faithful through gambling activities.

The journalists, who are part of the production team of the exposé, Sacred Swindlers, on Monday, May 26, claimed they received threats of unspecified actions from people they claim were linked to the subjects of the documentary.

NTV's Ibrahim Karanja and Frederick Muitiriri said they received several phone calls from unknown people who remained silent upon receipt of the calls.

Later, NMG formally reported the matter to the Nairobi Regional Commander, George Seda, requesting police intervention to ensure the safety of the scribes.
