Presidential aspirant Reuben Kigame has filed a police complaint alleging threats to his candidacy.
Kigame, a renowned gospel musician, filed the report at the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) headquarters on Kiambu Road on Friday.
Without going into details, the 55-year-old said he was seeking police protection over the ‘audio threat’.
“At the @DCI_Kenya Headquarters to report an audio threat to my candidacy @MapinduziKE,” he tweeted on Friday afternoon.
