An irate mob at the scene set his vehicle on fire despite pleas by police officers who tried to contain the situation.

The irate mob overpowered the police that had rushed to contain the situation,” Maangi said.

The accident occurring just a day after he was freed following arrest from the funeral service of former Cabinet Minister Simeon Nyachae on Monday when he was accused of planning to mobilise a mob to disrupt the ceremony that was attended by President Uhuru Kenyatta and other top leaders, among them Deputy President William Ruto and ODM boss Raila Odinga.
