The bandits were armed with heavy general purpose machine guns, hand
grenades, and weapons that are suspected to be of those police officers
killed in Suguta valley in in November.
Tension is high in the region and Masikita residents have fled to
Baragoi town seeking refuge following threats of a return attack from
the bandits.
The victims have faulted the Government’s disarmament exercise, saying
that it has left them defenseless in the face of the rampant attacks.
Locals complain that insecurity is rife in the region despite the deployment of Kenya Defence Forces.
