"The DCC lodged a criminal case number 543 of 2019 at a court in Othaya against me where I was to be charged with using abusive language in a manner likely to cause breach of peace.

"He informed me that if I fail to withdraw a complaint against the chief I will suffer the consequences," court papers read in part.

Bishop Wahome worried for his life

Through his lawyer Douglas Ombogi, Bishop Wahome claimed that he fears for his life and is constantly worried that a gang may attack him so he is forced to avoid public spaces.

He has further sought restraining orders against the DCC and Chief Paul Waigeni who he took to court for stealing the two dogs.
