A coffin. (Courtesy)An assistant chief had to run for dear life when his attempt to bar mourners from viewing a body proved dangerous. The incident happened yesterday during the burial of Geoffrey Ombira, a retired teacher, at Siyenga in Kakamega County.
Ombira was said to have succumbed to Covid-19 and Samson Sambili, the area assistant chief, attempted to bar mourners from viewing the body. The mourners charged at Mr Sambili, forcing him to scamper for safety. With the administrator out of sight, the mourners opened the coffin and viewed the body.
