Blood thirsty bandits have once again struck leaving a trail of death in Turkana county where they killed four people today morning in Turkana East sub-county.
In what appears to be a mockery of the ongoing security operation dubbed ‘Operation Maliza Uhalifu North Rift’ by the National Police Service (NPS) backed by the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF), the daring attackers Turkana Kraal in Kachangei village, Lotubae sublocation, and stole an unknown number of animals.
“Today in the morning, some bandits attacked a Turkana kraal within Kachangei village Lotubae sub location, during the attack four men were shot dead and the bandits managed to drive away an unknown number of livestock.” A senior officer noted.
The attack comes barely a week after bandits raided Lomelo village in Turkana East and killed a 41-year-old woman on a day when the Cabinet Secretary for interior and National Administration Kithure Kindiki was in Baringo.
His Defence counterpart Aden Duale was also in Baringo barely a fortnight ago
The bandits injured one person and stole an unknown number of goats and sheep in the morning attack.
CS Kindiki was in Sinoni, Kiserian, and Kasiela in Baringo South Constituency to assess the progress of the ongoing joint ‘Operation Maliza Uhalifu North Rift’ by the National Police and Kenya Defence Forces (KDF).
