Two men said to be Nyamira Governor John Nyagarama's relatives have been arrested for allegedly assaulting a security guard manning the governor's office.
Confirming the incident, Nyamira Officer Commanding Station (OCS) Alex Mumo said the suspects attacked Tom Mayaka on Friday after he barred them from accessing the office without a confirmation that they were expected by Nyagarama.
"The suspects identified as Kiage Obutu and Hillary Obutu instead of listening to the guard's directives, they descended on him mercilessly with kicks and blows," Mumo said.
He addressed the press in his office on Friday.
Mumo confirmed that the victim was rushed to Nyamira Level 5 Hospital for treatment after he was rescued by some of his colleagues.
"Mayaka was rushed to the hospital for treatment since the suspects dismembered his jaws," he added.
Mumo said the suspects claimed that they were untouchable since they own the county.
"I want to reiterate that no one is above the law to attack others. The suspects despite that they were later released on personal police bonds, they will be arraigned in court on Monday to be charged with assault," Mumo said.
