Nuru Media Director Attacked

Two weeks ago after having started moving my family I went back to my house to collect other things and I was immediately faced with a problem. My own neighbours (who are predominantly Kikuyu) confronted me and said that they are not allowing men to move out since they would be attacked by the Luos on the other side. They made it clear that they were not giving us any option and could do anything if we attempted to move out.

There was a lot of fear that the neighbourhood would be attacked and therefore I called my wife and told here I had to spend the night in our old place.

That night the Luos truly attacked, and they overwhelmed the local security. There was burning of houses, looting and many people were attacked with machetes and other crude weapons.
They broke down my gate using crowbars. I chose to stand in a narrow corridor since I could not be attacked by more than one person at a time. That decision probably saved my life. I only had a hockey stick with me but I was able to hold them off. I was hit with a crowbar which has sharpened edges on my left side below the collarbone.

The area has remained the most volatile in the city but I am now on the other side. I am now able to go the office.
