Cop Killed as Thugs Raid Police Station

Armed thugs on Wednesday, March 16, raided a police station in Samburu County and killed one officer in the process. 

Area County Commissioner Henry Wafula confirmed the incident noting that the thugs got away with four rifles and ammunition. 

The morning incident adds up to the recent spate of attacks by bandits who have taken scores of lives in the past few weeks. The attack comes as Rift Valley Commissioner Mohammed Maalim had issued a shoot to kill order in a bid to contain the threat posed by the bandits.
