Aburi also claimed that the tournament was being used to divert attention from the murder of Daniel Muthiani alias Sniper.

They vowed to prevent the tournament, vowing to use stones if need be.

"You have organised the tournament with the Meru governor to divert attention from seeking justice for Sniper. Moses Kuria does not be, going to you, you bring the tournament, we bring stones," said Aburi.

Scared by the threats, Kuria announced putting off his tournament in the Meru part of Mt Kenya.

"After consultations with the FKF leadership and for the sake of safety and security of players, we have excluded the 9 Meru Constituency Clubs from the tournament," said Kuria.
