Elsewhere in Nairobi, police are investigating the cause of a fire that burnt down a section of New Jerusalem Church of Holy Spirit at Muthurwa estate.

Police said preliminary investigations show the fire was caused by an electric fault from one of the structures.

Also burnt down was a public address system and other electronics.

Nairobi police boss Adamson Bungei said they are investigating the incident.

He said experts are on the ground to investigate if it was an incident of arson or accidental.
