Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has levelled fresh allegations against the police, this time presenting damning evidence of how small-scale gas traders are being harassed.

Gachagua pointed the finger of blame at Deputy Inspector General of Police (Kenya Police Service) Eliud Lagat, saying he is the brains behind a clandestine police unit harassing traders.

In his address on Wednesday, the former DP claimed the existence of an ungazetted police station nicknamed ‘blacksite’ based at Hurlingham, Nairobi, overseen by Lagat.
