Gachagua Scampers To Safety After Goons Storm Burial In Limuru [VIDEO]

Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua was forced to scamper for safety after chaos ensued during a burial ceremony in Limuru, Kiambu County on Thursday, November 28, which he attended.

The ceremony went on as usual as former Limuru Member of Parliament (MP) Peter Mwathi was giving his remarks. However, his mic went off, which was followed by a vigorous shaking of the tent where the former DP was seated alongside his close political allies including Kiambu Senator Karungo Wa Thang'wa.

In a video seen by Viral Tea, Gachagua and other politicians were captured seated at one of the tents that had been designated for senior congregants. 

However, just before the former DP could be invited to address the crowd, a group of locals began rattling the tent, a moment that prompted those inside to rush out in fear for their lives.

The congregants were recorded scampering for safety as a group of rivalling pacts engaged in heated wrangles that led to the destruction of furniture including chairs.

During the incident, Gachagua's car was destroyed with footage of the scene showing the former DP's black Toyota Land Cruiser's rear window smashed.

According to reports, several people also sustained critical injuries with the photos of the event further showing plastic chairs scattered on the ground. However, the cause of the drama is yet to be established.

This comes after concerns surfaced regarding Gachagua's safety. On November 20, he claimed that he was being stalked by security agents in unmarked vehicles who had pitched camp outside his Nairobi residence.

"Security agents in unmarked cars have been following me wherever I go. They are parking at the entrance of my Nairobi residence, taking note of all my visitors, and they trail me whenever I leave the house, even all the way to my rural home in Nyeri," he announced on his social media pages.

Furthermore, Gachagua's acrimonious fallout with his former boss, President William Ruto, has been a major talking point. in a recent speech, the second deputy president took a swipe at Ruto over his style of leadership.

Speaking during a church service at the AIPCA, Gachagua hit out at the Head of State for failing to heed his advice on the Adani Group deals. According to the former DP, despite warning Ruto over the deal, the president failed to listen to his advice.

While reiterating the level of impunity in the country, Gachagua said he was viewed as the enemy of the people whenever he tried to convince the president over some of the government dealings.
