Speaking to Mutembei TV, the area police commander stated that the police vehicle chasing the matatu was headed to Kisii Law Courts to transport prisoners whose cases were scheduled for mention that day.

The commander noted that upon seeing the police vehicle, the driver made a quick U-turn and proceeded in the wrong lane toward Nyabururu.

He further stated that the driver’s actions piqued the police officers’ curiosity. Eager to understand why the driver changed his route, they began pursuing the matatu.

“The officers wanted to establish what exactly is happening or what is in the vehicle, they began chasing the matatu. The vehicle came straight to this parish and parked where it is currently. We have had a discussion with the Parish father,” the commander said

The parish priest, visibly upset with the police for conducting their chase on church grounds, stated that their actions were entirely unacceptable.

He said that the officers entered the church while Christians were praying and continued their search for the driver among the congregation.
