Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua was, on Sunday, March 23, temporarily blocked from leaving the ACK Cathedral in Nyeri town.
In videos seen by Kenyans.co.ke, the crowd was seen gathering outside the church confronting the residents in a heated exchange that prompted the intervention of police officers.
Earlier in the day, former Nyeri Town MP Ngunjiri Wambugu took to social media alleging that a group of goons had gathered outside waiting to confront the former DP. "So there are goons outside our church mobilized from Mathira to cause chaos when HE Rigathi leaves the consecration of Bishop Mureithi at ACK Cathedral, Nyeri Town," part of the post read.
