Tension is high in Kabarnet town, Baringo county after residents spotted unidentified civilian armed with an AK-47 gun on Monday evening. "When we saw him he walked faster towards Kapkokorwo village then we informed Police who rushed immediately to the scene to pursue him" Gilbert Cherogony, a boda boda trader said. Cherogony said they feared following the armed stranger, "so we just watched him escape to the bush." However, residents fear it could be an armed bandit on the loose from the volatile neighbouring sub county. This is after five people including four school children were shot dead in Arabal, Baringo South last Thursday.
