Faithful bar church elders and several pastors from Presbyterian Church of East Africa Nyonjoro in Lanet, Nakuru county, on January 11, 2026. [Kipsang Joseph, Standard]The Presbyterian Church of East Africa (PCEA) Nyonjoro, Nakuru County was on Sunday treated to drama after congregants barred elders from entry. The congregants maintained that the elders would only be allowed into the church after they resolved their leadership wrangles, which had allegedly divided the church. Simon Karanja, one of the elders, confirmed that there were leadership wrangles at the church after the Reverend, Dickson Ndirangu, installed new leadership last Sunday. He condemned the presence of the police in a church service and the drama that attracted onlookers outside the church.
