The two are accused of vandalising Vunduba, a popular club in the lakeside city.

The club's manager, Patrick Mbasa, who is involved in a legal brawl with the couple, said a group of youth stormed the facility on Wednesday morning, and destroyed the club's roof.

“They completely destroyed the roof by removing the tiles and the iron sheets and even broke one of the doors to the club,” said Mr Mbasa.

He accused the duo of paying the youth Sh70,000 to cause the destruction, in a bid to force them out of the building, which they own.

Kisumu Central Police boss Peter Omanwa said they were searching for the couple to assist them in investigations, adding that five people had already been arrested in connection to the incident.

“We have arrested about five youth in connection with the destruction at the club and are looking for the woman representative and the owner of the premises, who have been adversely mentioned in the incident,” said Mr Omanwa, as quoted by the Nation.

“The law must be followed. It is not right for anybody, regardless of their status, to take the law into their own hands. So far we have tried reaching the woman representative through the OCS in vain,” he added.

According to the Nation, efforts to reach the women rep for comment were futile.
