Police confirm 'bomb' attack at Boniface Mwangi's family home
In a statement issued on Thursday, the National Police Service said armed attackers ambushed the workers, robbed them and bombed the building which is still under construction at Kinanie Location in Lukenya, Machakos County.
“Three unknown men in a white pickup allegedly armed with pistols accosted the site workers, robbed them off personal effects and assaulted the building still under construction with detonators causing three holes,” the police statement read.
Police have since visited the scene as manhunt for the suspects continue.
They have also implored members of the public who have any information pertaining the incident to report.
Earlier on Thursday morning, Mwangi took to social media to
express his frustration towards the government, a move that prompted online reaction
among many Kenyans.
“I’m not a criminal. I don’t do deals. I have never compromised my values. The State has blown up the house my family was building. The bullets, the explosives they used are on the scene. So, what kind of a country are we living in?” He posed.
