A young man reportedly breached the security cordon around Kenyan President William Ruto and made his way onto the stage at a public event. The incident occurred during a Thanksgiving service for Youth Affairs Principal Secretary Fikirini Jacobs while the President was addressing the crowd on Sunday, May 24.
Witnesses said the man, who was holding a Bible, briefly approached and held onto the President before security officers intervened. The motive behind the breach remains unclear, but the individual was quickly subdued and taken into custody by security personnel.
Videos of the incident circulating on social media show the moment the man approached the President, causing a brief commotion among attendees. The President appeared calm and continued his address after the situation was resolved.
Security experts have raised concerns about the effectiveness of presidential security protocols, calling for a thorough investigation into how the man managed to bypass multiple layers of security.
