The shocked families of the abducted victims who accompanied the activists wailed as the commotion ensued before the police allowed the activists entry into the offices.
"We will resist any attempts to have us arrested. We will also not allow police officers with masks on their faces to arrest us," Mwangi shouted as police tried to pull him forcefully from the ground.
Police have heightened security around the Office of the President following the activists' decision to petition Ruto on the disappearance of Kenyans following recent protests against the government.
