Raila Odinga: Angry youth stop traffic to search for Rails Odinga

The group was under a solemn vow to not let the opposition party leader attend Dr Gakuru's funeral.

Traffic was at a standstill after a crowd of rowdy youth in Karatina stopped a convoy to search for opposition party leader Raila Odinga.
In a bid to stop Raila from attending the late Nyeri governor Dr Wahome Gaukuru’s burial, the youth disrupted traffic on the busy Karatina-Nairobi Highway for almost  two hours immediately after the car carrying Dr Gakuru’s body passed.
While chanting anti-Raila slogans, the youth blocked the highway and flagged down all vehicles heading to Nyeri after word hit the streets that the NASA leader was to drive in for the burial.
The angry mob forced the motorists to open their vehicles while searching for the opposition leader and asked those on board to identify themselves before allowing them to continue with their journey.
Under a solemn vow to not give Raila Odiga passage to the well-attended funeral, the youth confronted a traffic policer officer who tried to salvage the situation. 
Dr Gakuru died in a freakish accident on 7 November 2017 after his car rammed into a highway barrier on his way to Nairobi.
