Goons Allegedly Disrupt Former Meru Governor Kawira Mwangaza’s Event

Former Meru Governor Kawira Mwangaza’s event in Ituine, Igembe Central, was allegedly disrupted by unidentified armed individuals, sparking a confrontation in the presence of police and local residents. In footage shared on October 18, Mwangaza accused police of protecting the attackers and described them as government-sponsored goons. The video did not establish who was involved or what led to the disruption, and no information was provided about possible injuries or arrests. Her Okolea Programme gatherings have faced previous disruptions, including an incident in Antubochiu Ward in March 2025, after which youths said they had been paid to interfere.
