Unrest as KWS rangers in Nakuru Shoot 4 School Going Children.
The boys namely; Barack Obama, Obedi Luka, Sammy Njenga, and Alvin Williams are currently admitted at Nakuru Teaching and Referral Hospital, receiving Treatment.
One parent narrated,”My son was sitting on the rocks outside. When he saw the officers shooting, he jumped and ran inside to me. At the gate, he was shot,”
Alvin Williams narrated, “It was evening, and I decided to go see how far the lake had risen. Around 4 PM, I met my friend Dickie, who had been shot by the officers. When it began to rain, I went to a neighbor’s house for shelter. Suddenly, the officers started shooting.”
Obedi Luka’s mother narrated,”There were three Land Cruisers, and the officers were shooting live rounds, overturning the vehicles as they sped away. When I arrived, I found four young men lying on the ground. By 6:30 PM, they returned, and my son had been shot in the leg. Barrack was shot there, Alvin was at the power post, and they were all in the same area.”
Sammy Njenga’s mother added, “They were not fishing. My son was wearing a short and a t-shirt, just like friends visiting each other. They were taken from there.”
Arphaxard Kemboi, the Chief Nursing Officer at Nakuru Hospital has since confirmed that All four patients are currently in stable condition in the ward.
He stated,”Two have been taken to the theater for bullet removal, while the other two are being managed at the ward level and are stable.”
Investigations into what happened have begun, with families, residents, and local leaders calling for the arrest of the officers involved.
MP Samuel Arama stated, “It is surprising that these KWS officers have such behavior. The law states that if someone commits an offense, they should be arrested and taken to the nearest police station.”
