Nyandarua Senator John Methu and other allies of the former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua were forced to flee for safety on Sunday, July 7, as his convoy was teargassed by police officers, who also fired gunshots to disperse opposition figures in Murang'a County.
Methu was in the county to attend a church service in Kigumo Constituency alongside other allies of Gachagua.
After the service, the leaders were expected to address multiple public rallies in the county, but police mounted a blockade along one of the major highways to stop their movement.
In videos and images obtained by Kenyans.co.ke, Methu, alongside other opposition figures, can be seen attempting to negotiate their way through with a commanding officer, who was adamant the convoy had to turn back.
