Narrating ordeal Narrating the ordeal, Ng’etich said a vehicle with three occupants blocked his car before he was pulled out by individuals with guns pointing at him. “They were in civilian clothes and the first thing that came to my mind was that I had been carjacked for they did not identify themselves. But members of public stood their ground and blocked the way despite the officers cocking their guns,” said the doctor.
