Shops at Kapedo market remained closed as locals stayed indoors for fear of more attacks by suspected bandits. The attack has sparked fresh animosity between the warring Pokot and Turkana communities, with some residents fleeing the area. Mr Bullut said at around 4pm on Saturday, a group of villagers from a nearby Pokot village arrived at Kapedo trading centre and were suddenly shot and killed by the attackers. While condemning the attack, Mr Bullut said security personnel were pursuing the attackers.
