The outlawed Mungiki sect national co-ordinator Mr. Ndura waruingi on Sunday night made a daring escape from security officers who invaded his hide out in Mihang’o village, Makuyu division of Maragwa district.

Mr. Waruingi scaled over a lofty fence surrounding his parents in laws’ home where he has been hiding for the last one week and ran through a maize plantation with the Flying Squad and regular police officers in hot pursuit.

However, during the 9.00pm incident police managed to arrest his wife Mrs. Selina Muthoni Ndura, his sister Regina Wambui and father in law Mr. John Wanyoike.

Also arrested were a brother in law Mr. Andrew Mwangi and a sister in law Miss. Rose Wanjiru.

Maragwa Deputy Officer Commanding Police Division Spt. Jonathan Koech confirmed the arrests. He said his officers also recovered documents and oathing paraphernalia belonging to the outlawed sect.

Koech further said that Mr. Waruinge’s relatives were being held at Makuyu police station and will be arraigned in court soon to answer charges of being members of an outlawed society, giving false information to the police and being in possession of stolen property.

He described Mr. Waruinge as a dangerous man who is believed to be armed and appealed to the local people to volunteer any information, which could lead to his arrest.

Last nights arrest brings to 13 the number of the illegal sect adherents netted in the last one week in Maragwa district.

The police invaded Waruinge’s hideout following a tip of by a defector from the sect who surrendered to the police recently.

Police have been searching for the Mungiki leader for more than two weeks since members of the sect went on a killing orgy in Nakuru, leaving at least sixteen people dead.

The government ordered a crackdown on the unregistered sect and the arrest of its top leaders, Wauinge and the sect’s spiritual leader Maina Njenga.
