There was panic at Kapindasum village in Baringo South sub-county after bandits attacked security officers on Tuesday morning. The gunmen targeted General Service Unit (GSU) personnel on a routine patrol prompting a fierce gun battle for hours, witnesses and police said. Officials said the bandits surrounded Kapindasum Primary School and the neighbouring GSU camp as the fighting raged. The incident comes barely weeks after gunmen fired shots at Kapindasum Primary School as pupils were going to lunch. Despite a heavy police presence in the marked areas, armed bandits have continued to attack, kill and rob residents before retreating to caves and forests from where they monitor the public and security personnel as they plan further attacks.
