Ruiru was plunged into chaos on the morning of Sunday, March 2, as irate residents demanded justice against a clergyman accused of abusing young boys.
Tens of members of the public gathered outside Christ Impact Church threatening to destroy the building if the pastor in question failed to appear.
Photos and videos obtained by Kenyans.co.ke show residents tearing down the church with some declaring they did not want the pastor to remain in their community.
Authorities arrived at the scene to attempt to quell the volatile situation, but the mob would not budge, prompting police to use teargas to attempt to disperse the crowd.
