19 Jun 2014

On Wednesday night at around 11pm, raiders attacked Mukutani village in Baringo South burning one hotel and four houses, County Police Commander Hassan Barua has confirmed.

Mr Barua also said that no deaths or injuries had been reported. The raiders are reported to have shot in the air before setting ablaze at least four houses and a hotel.

Meanwhile, four people were killed and scores injured after raiders attacked Nadome in Tiaty Sub-county of Baringo County on Tuesday.

The more than 200 suspected Turkana raiders, armed with AK-47 rifles, are said to have attacked more than 10 villages on Tuesday night and made away with 5,000 cattle, 15,000 goats, 900 camels and more than 3,000 donkeys.

The animals were said to have been driven towards Turkana South sub-county.

Silale County Assembly Member Nelson Lotela complained about what he termed as the government’s slow response to the attack.

“People are living in fear as the raiders are said to be planning another attack,” Mr Lotela said.
