Democracy for Citizens party leader Rigathi Gachagua claims he survived an assassination attempt by the government on Tuesday night after returning from the United States. He alleged the plot involved police disguised as goons near Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, specifically in Pipeline, Nairobi, following his arrival.

• Gachagua stated a police unit, disguised as goons, attempted to assassinate him and cause a civil war.
• The alleged plot involved dropping an object on his car and police positioned among goons to shift blame.
• He canceled a rally at Kamukunji due to security risks and warned Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen against such actions.
• Gachagua indicated his numerous supporters at the airport prevented his arrest, which he believed was planned by the government.
