Police Constable Julius Cheruiyot was arrested following extensive investigations into Mbobu's fatal shooting along Magadi Road on September 9, 2025. Detectives also recovered a Ceska pistol that had been issued to Cheruiyot at the time of the incident.

A local pastor is mourning the loss of his church building after a breakdown in lease negotiations with the property owner forced his congregation to tear the structure down. Pastor Joe Mwangi of Light Generation Church shared the news with his followers in a lengthy Facebook post, revealing that the building would no longer stand at its current location. He said sustained efforts to retain the space ultimately failed after talks with the landlord collapsed without resolution, leaving the congregation with a one-week ultimatum to dismantle and clear the site. For Mwangi, the loss represents more than a physical structure — it marks the undoing of something his congregation built through years of devotion, sacrifice, and prayer. "As a young pastor, watching something we poured our hearts and souls into come down is heartbreaking," he wrote, adding that no words could fully capture the pain of watching a house of worship demolished. The dispute reportedly centred on the lease a...
