It is suspected that the animals had been stolen by bandits from Samburu County. The attackers, who were armed with guns, ambushed Mr Lemerei Leisakong as he was grazing the cows in Oloiborsoit and drove them off towards Loturo in Oldonyiro, Isiolo County. And in a coordinated approach, Oldonyiro residents joined a multi-agency security team in tracking down the bandits who had hidden the cows near Ndugu Zangu Primary School. FIRE EXCHANGEPolice officers engaged the suspected bandits in fierce gun fight, forcing them to flee, leaving the animals behind. The administrator said it was very encouraging to see Oldonyiro residents join hands with the police and their Laikipia neighbours to recover the stolen livestock.
