Barely hours after Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) verifying over one million signatures from Dr Ekuru Aukot’s Punguza Mizigo initiative, an armed gang allegedly raided his office in Lavington, Nairobi.

It is alleged that Dr Aukot’s Thirdway Alliance Party Secretary General Fredrick Okang’o was shot and injured in an ugly scene that occurred on Thursday night.

According to Ekuru Aukot, six armed men raided their office and shot Okang’o but fortunately he managed to escape before they took away his life.

“Our party office Thirdway Kenya in Lavington, Chalbi drive has just been invaded by 6 armed men in Nairobi. They have shot at our SG Fredrick Okang’o who ran and hid inside one of the offices. This comes barely few hours after Punguza Mizigo Bill passed. This a cowardly act,” Aukot posted on Twitter.

The motive of the attack is however not yet to be established.
