Currently, a heavy police presence has been witnessed in Kerogoya as a number of her supporters have come out to express their support.

She allegedly sustained serious head injuries and was treated at the Kirinyaga County Referral Hospital before being transferred to the Nairobi Hospital for specialized care.
