Detectives arrests law defied congregants who were fellow-shipping at two Catholic churches in Bungoma. Bungoma South Deputy County Commissioner Michael Yator confirmed.

They were arrested for ridiculing government order barring physical gatherings in the fight against the coronavirus.

Thirty-two people arrested at Christ the King Catholic Church while fourteen were seized at St Paul’s Kanduyi parish.

There was drama as some congregants took to their heels when police officers in civilian clothing, acting on a tip-off, raided the two churches.

Bungoma South Deputy County Commissioner Michael Yator said the suspects were temporarily detained and later pardoned to go home.
