Residents claim the granny has been causing trouble in the region.
They accuse her of bewitching members of one community who died mysteriously.
''Children have suddenly developed painful pimples around the mouth and she's the one with the cure. If you don’t buy it from her then your child will suffer, '' a resident claimed.
Another resident, Martin Cheap, said: “We didn't see why we should beat up such a woman. All we want is for her to be away from our community because she's been causing a lot of problem.”
Area chief said a team of security detail ambushed the suspect’s house and recovered items suspected to be used in witchcraft leading to her arrest.
"She is currently in Kiambu police custody as investigations are ongoing,” the chief said.
