One killed as tension remains high along Njoro Molo border

One killed as tension remains high along Njoro  Molo border

One person was shot dead after an altercation with a civilian gun holder at Ngongongeri farm in Molo.

This comes amid a tussle between squatters and individuals claiming ownership of the vast piece of land.

According to residents, the deceased had gone to salvage some property from his home which was set on fire on Friday last week.

A man who claims to be the rightful owner of the land confronted the deceased and shot him.

On Thursday last week, Rift Valley Regional Coordinator Wanyama Musiambo instructed police to pull down all illegal structures set up on the land.

The dispute has heightened tensions between members of the neighboring Ogiek and Tugen communities with one group accusing the government of bias in tackling the problem.

Four suspects were arrested in connection with last week’s arson attacks among them a nominated Member of the County Assembly (MCA).
