Police have launched investigations into a reported attack at Thirdway Alliance Kenya offices in Lavington, Nairobi, on Thursday night.
In a tweet on Thursday night, Ekuru Aukot said six attackers forcefully gained access into the party offices shooting at the party Secretary General Fredrick Okango.
“Our party office Thirdway Kenya in Lavington, chalbi drive has just been invaded by 6 armed Nairobi. They have shot at our SG Fredrick Okango who ran and hid inside one of the offices. This comes barely few hours after Punguza Mizigo Bill passed. This a cowardly act,” Aukot wrote.
He, however, later deleted the Tweet but not before hawk-eyed netizens took a screenshot of the post.
SG Okango said that the attackers got away with a laptop and phones.

The attack came hours after the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) verified that Aukot’s Punguza Mzigo initiative, that is pushing for a constitution amendment, met the required threshold of at least one million signatures.
In a statement, IEBC confirmed that Aukot’s initiative was supported by a total of 1,222,541 registered voters.
