Tension is still high in Olposimoru area in Narok North sub-County after two more people were killed and over 10 others sustained bullet wounds in the ongoing communal violence on the border of Nakuru and Narok counties. The fight started on Tuesday after a herder was killed while grazing livestock in Olposimoru forest, which is part of the larger Mau Forest. Mr Lepore claimed that the seven victims of police brutality suffered wounds on their backs as they were fleeing. The victims are recuperating at Narok County Referral Hospital while the two bodies are lying at the facility’s mortuary. The two communities blamed cattle thefts, land issues and politics for the recurrent skirmishes that have left several people dead since 2018.
