PHOTO: Gor Mahia Fans Who Allegedly Caused Trouble On Sunday Appear In Court

19 Gor Mahia fans who allegedly caused trouble during the aborted Mashemeji Derby on Sunday have been presented to court for charges.

The 19 were arrested in the CBD in possession of stones and other objects which police believe were meant to throw the public into panic and cause harm to innocent civilians.

They are also accused of injuring some people and destroying property.

The 19, however, refused to take plea to the charges against them after their lawyer claimed their rights had been violated.

The judge is expected to decide if they will be charged or not.

The clash between Gor Mahia and AFC Leopards was abandoned after trouble ensued when fans from both sides pelted stones at each other forcing police to lob teargas canisters to disperse a tense situation that was building.

Governor Kidero has already threatened to ban the two clubs from playing their games in Nairobi after property worth thousands of shillings was destroyed.

Here are the fans in court:
