Father John Maina Ndegwa
Rev. Fr. John Maina Ndegwa, the priest in charge of Igwamiti Catholic Parish, just weeks after he hosted Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua at the church.
Fr. Maina was reportedly hijacked, bludgeoned, and later dumped by the roadside in Kikopey, Gilgil, within Nakuru County — nearly 50 kilometers from his parish. His body bore signs of blunt force trauma, raising fears of a targeted and violent attack.
To date, his Subaru Forester remains missing, fueling further mystery surrounding the motive behind the killing. The incident has sent shockwaves through the clergy and community, prompting calls for swift justice.
In response, detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) in Nakuru have launched investigations into the murder. Authorities are working to trace Fr. Maina’s final movements, identify the assailants, and recover the missing vehicle.
