A church service at an AIPCA church in Moto area, Kuresoi North Sub-County was disrupted after armed police officers stormed inside seeking to arrest one of the congregants.
The armed police officers surrounded the church on Sunday in pursuit of one James Marigi, who is said to have quarreled with his neighbour ownership of a sheep.
Alarmed, worshippers ran helter skelter fearing for their lives.
