Kayole OCPD Wilson Kosgey has confirmed their arrest.

A video posted showed  the women gathered in a room with no social distancing being observed despite them adorning masks.

According to the police officers they were tipped off by members of the public that the women had congregated at the wedding party early Sunday morning.

By evening the party was still ongoing by the time the police officers arrived.
