At the time, the sports facility was hosting a league match pitting Zoo Kericho and Bandari, which ended 1-1. "I told Onyanchi, we (Zoo Kericho) would have won the match if the referee had added another five minutes. One of the Bandari players overheard me and shoved me to the ground, exposing my firearm," Kiplangat explains. The Kericho County government has condemned this incident, while the Kenyan Premier League management has launched investigations with Bandari calling for 'justice'. This is the second gun incident in a local football match in as many years, leading to questions over the safety of footballers, coaches and referees.
