Bunge la Mwananchi President Calvince Okoth aka Gaucho was arrested on Wednesday night while taking an oath regarding the planned three-day anti-government protests.
This came after a video surfaced online showing Gaucho swearing an oath with the blood of a freshly slaughtered goat. In the video, he vows to protect Azimio la Umoja – One Kenya Coalition leader Raila Odinga at all costs.
The video was reportedly shot on Tuesday at the Kamukunji grounds in Nairobi, where Gaucho was surrounded by several youths who appeared to be charged.
“Watu wakutane kesho… watu wakutane kesho… mtu akigusa Raila, atajua hajui,” Gaucho says in the video as he licks fresh blood off knife.
Prior to this, Gaucho has organized a grassroots meeting to mobilize Azimio supporters for the three-day protests.
He said he and other protesters are ready for the demos and that they will storm Nairobi’s Central Business District.
It has not been revealed where the police are holding the fiery youth leader.
