Kidero’s convoy stoned in Dandora, journalists injured

The convoy of Governor Evans Kidero was on Tuesday pelted with stones in Dandora by an irate crowd.

Governor Kidero was not injured during the fracas, but a vehicle carrying journalists and a police vehicle that had escorted the governor were stoned.

Police officers in the stoned vehicle were forced to disembark and shoot in the air to disperse the crowd.

Three Mediamax journalists, Sarah Ndungu, Patrick Kimanthi and Charles Mathai, together with their driver Edward Mungai, were injured during the incident.

Nation reporters escaped narrowly after police officers dispersed the youths.

Initial reports indicate that the youths had been mobilised to wait for the governor outside the Friends Secondary School in Dandora with the expectation of handouts.

 

They however turned violent after the governor sped off after making his speech.
