NAIROBI, Kenya (PANA) - Riot police fired in the air Saturday to stop riotous

members of the un-registered Mungiki religious sect from burning the Freemasons

Hall in Nairobi, East African Standard reported Sunday. The group, led by its national co-ordinator, Ibrahim Ndira Waruingi, marched

to the hall armed with four jerricans of petrol and attempted to gain access

to the premises of the Freemasons Hall on Nyerere Road. The controversial

Mungiki members, who have been engaging police in running battles, claimed the

hall housed satanic and demonic materials used by members of the Freemasons society,

which they allegedly wanted to exorcise.
