LIMURU, Kenya – The National Police Service (NPS) has launched investigations into a violent disturbance that disrupted a funeral in Limuru on November 28, leaving mourners in panic and property damaged.

The fracas erupted during the funeral of the late Erastus Nduati, where Hon. Peter Mungai Mwathi, the former Member of Parliament for Limuru, was addressing attendees at Bibirioni Boys High School.

Unidentified individuals reportedly began hurling objects and chairs, forcing mourners to flee for safety.

In a statement issued on November 29, NPS clarified that property damage occurred during the incident, although only one official complaint has been filed so far.

“Consequently, property of unknown number and value were damaged, but so far, we have received a report from only one complainant,” the statement read.

Contrary to speculation, NPS confirmed that Hon. Peter Mwathi was not arrested and is not a person of interest in the ongoing investigation.

The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) in Limuru has commenced inquiries to determine the cause of the disruption and identify those responsible.

Officers are currently recording statements from family members of the deceased and other witnesses.

NPS has urged the public to come forward with any information that may assist in apprehending the suspects who stormed the funeral.

“We call upon anybody with information that may aid in the arrest of the suspects to report to the nearest police station,” said Dr. Resila Onyango, spokesperson for the Inspector General of Police.

The police have reiterated their commitment to ensuring justice for the affected mourners and maintaining public safety.

“We reaffirm our commitment to serve and protect all Kenyans,” the statement concluded.
