Police Teargas Gachagua's Motorcade at Sagana, Fail to Stop His Rally

Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua was teargassed on his way to Kagio in Kirinyaga County in an incident that caused panic among supporters and other road users.

According to Nyandarua Senator John Methu, who was among other leaders accompanying Gachagua, police attacked the convoy at Sagana, some 34 kilometres to the destination.

Though the exact circumstances surrounding the incident remain unclear, some suggest police wanted to stop the noise from the convoy.

Images circulating on social media show teargas canisters and damaged vehicles, suggesting a violent confrontation.

No injuries have been reported so far, and Gachagua has made it to Kagio.

Gachagua is wearing a bulletproof vest and helmet while addressing the gathered crowds.
