In a dramatic turn of events, Maina Njenga, the former leader of the notorious Mungiki group, found himself at the center of a courtroom clash between his lawyer and the police.

Njenga voluntarily surrendered to the authorities in Nakuru after the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) declared him a wanted man in relation to the discovery of two firearms and a significant amount of cannabis at a suspected linked residence.

Tensions escalated during the court proceedings when Njenga's lawyer, Ndegwa Njiru, attempted to prevent the officers from restraining his client, leading to a dramatic confrontation within the courtroom.

Appearing before the Nakuru Law Court, Njenga and 11 co-defendants faced multiple charges related to their alleged involvement in organized criminal activities and association with a criminal group.

Seeking legal protection, Njenga secured anticipatory bail and obtained court orders prohibiting the police from arresting or detaining him.

In a well-coordinated operation in Ngomongo village, Dundori ward, law enforcement officers successfully apprehended eight individuals, ranging in age from 37 to 54, who were allegedly involved in criminal activities.

During the search of the premises, authorities made a shocking discovery of over 90 rolls of cannabis, shedding light on the illicit activities taking place. To their surprise, they also uncovered three rounds of 9mm blank ammunition hidden in one of the rooms.

Among the confiscated firearms were a homemade pistol capable of firing live ammunition and a Tokarev handgun with deliberately defaced serial numbers. The presence of these weapons raised serious concerns and further heightened scrutiny surrounding Njenga and his alleged connections.
