Five National Police Reservists were killed and an unknown number of livestock stolen after suspected Pokot bandits attacked Arabal in Baringo South on morning. Baringo County Police Commander Robinson Ndiwa said the incident occurred when the brazen bandits raided two Tugen manyattas at 3am. However, Marigat-based human rights activist Amos Ol’empaka asked the government to urgently deploy a surveillance helicopter to pursue the bandits with the stolen livestock. Baringo South MP Charles Kamuren has asked security officers to move fast and restore peace and calm. In September last year, two NPR and RDU officers were injured in an ambush by the suspected armed pokot bandits at Ramacha village in the same sub-county.
