Drama unfolded at the Milimani Law Courts in Nairobi after disgruntled members of Ekeza Sacco attacked one of the advocates representing controversial televangelist David Kariuki Ngare, popularly known as Gakuyo.
The angry members, who are furious over the Ksh.1.5 billion loss brought upon them by the Gakuyo-founded sacco, pounced on lawyer Samuel Mburu accusing him of ridiculing them as he contradicted their submission in court.
They descended on Mburu outside the court ripping his shirt and suit as they meted out their anger on him. It took the intervention of security guards at the court to rescue him.
Earlier, there was confusion in the court over who is the real advocate representing the Sacco since two advocates — Mburu and Duncan Okachi — claimed they have instructions to represent Ekeza Sacco.
Whereas Mburu says he has no problem with the court orders that barred take over of the sacco by a new management, lawyer Okachi wants the orders vacated.
