Emotions ran high during preparations for Jachiga's, burial on Friday at Kadiju village in Chiga within Kisumu county.
At his home, a grave that had already been dug where he was set to be laid to rest was refilled by angry mourners who buried a wheelbarrow and tree branches claiming they were not ready to allow the musician to be hurriedly laid to rest.
The standoff ensued while the deceased was still en-route to his village in a convoy from town.
Earlier, police had a hard time controlling the crowd which defied social distance directives with most not wearing their face masks as they escorted the deceased from the Port Florence mortuary.
