[Sammy Omingo, Standard]Police are investigating an incident where a Murang’a-based journalist was assaulted by security officers attached to Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua's wife. Nation Media Group's Mwangi Muiruri was viciously attacked by security officers when he was covering a food distribution event led by Dorcas Gachagua at Greystone area in Gatanga on Thursday. Following the attack, Muiruri recorded a statement at Kaguku Police Station. In his statement, Nuno said the officers responded when they saw an individual getting too close to Pastor Dorcas. “He advanced towards Pastor Dorcas and the police could not allow him near her as he had no identification badge,” claimed Nuno, adding that the officers were trying to stop Muiruri from reaching Pastor Dorcas.
