Chaos erupted in Nyeri after Maina Njenga, accompanied by youths, stormed a prayer meeting organised by former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua's spouse, Pastor Dorcas Rigathi.

The incident happened at Kamukunji Grounds, where Pastor Dorcas was evangelising.

Eye witnesses say Pastor Dorcas was forced to leave the event after the chaos erupted.

The event has caused political unease in the region amid fears that the group of youths accompanying the former Mungiki leader were out to disrupt the meeting.
