Former Mungiki leader Maina Njenga has linked Friday raids on his homes in Nairobi and Nyandarua to threats to prevent him from attending Mukami Kimathi’s burial on Saturday.
According to Njenga, state operatives do not want him to attend the funeral, which will be attended by top government officials such as President William Ruto and his deputy Rigathi Gachagua.
On Friday, May 12, Police officers raided Njenga’s homes in Nairobi’s Lavington and Karen, as well as his rural residence in Nyandarua.
Njenga stated that the teams that arrived at the three homes at 4 a.m. told workers they were looking for him.
He stated that the officers knocked on the doors and were let in before picking up a number of workers who were at his Lavington home.
He added he was safe somewhere he did not disclose.
“They said they were looking for me. I do not know why but I see it as politics and harassment, which should stop,” Njenga said to Star Journalist.
