The Mungiki National co-ordinator, Ndura Waruinge is on the run after he slipped through a police dragnet when detectives attempted to arrest him.
Waruinge, who the police have been looking for since members of the outlawed sect hacked to death 16 people in Nakuru early this month made good his escape when he jumped over the fence of his in-laws compound.
According to a reliable police source Wariunge had sought refuge at his in-laws Ndaragua home since police started hunting him and the sects National Chairman, Maina Njenga own.
Waruinge has been reading papers and monitoring from his in-laws residence much to the chagrin of detectives who have been hunting for him.
The source revealed that detectives who had been tipped on the outlawed sect's hideout raided the homestead only to find that he had escaped seconds before they arrived.
The sect leader allegedly jumped over a fence just before the officers arrived.
A massive manhunt was immediately launched to track down the two sect leaders.
Police arrested Waruinge's brother when they raided his ancenstral home last week.
