“We call upon anybody with information that may aid in the arrest of the suspects that invaded the burial to report to the nearest police station, even as we reaffirm our commitment to serve and protect all Kenyans.”

“The incident happened at the time former Limuru Member of Parliament, Hon. Peter Mungai Mwathi was addressing mourners at Bibirioni Boys High School, Limuru, when unknown individuals started hurling objects and chairs, forcing mourners to scamper for safety,” NPS stated.
“Consequently, property of unknown number and value was damaged, but so far, we have received a report from only one complainant.”
The clarification by NPS came after Gachgau’s allies camped outside the DCI Headquarters seeking to establish the whereabouts of the former lawmaker.
The allies of the former DP had alleged that Mwathi had been abducted by police officers.
On his part, Gachagua claimed that the chaos was planned to cause him physical harm.
