VIDEO: Ruto's security intervenes after man broke protocol, charged at President in Kilifi
Tensions briefly flared in Kilifi County after a man breached protocol and ran toward the dais during President William Ruto's address.
In a video seen by TNX Africa, the man, who appeared to be holding a Bible, rushed toward the podium as Ruto was speaking, momentarily interrupting the event. Speaking faintly through the president’s microphone, he was heard saying, “Nimetoka Nairobi,” before officers from the Presidential Escort Unit swiftly moved in.
Within seconds, the man was pinned to the ground and dragged away from the podium. Amid the scuffle, Ruto appeared to urge his security team not to manhandle him, seemingly willing to hear him out.
“Wachana na yeye! Wewe, leave this man alone!” Ruto pleaded, although the security officers appeared to ignore the instruction.
