More than 2,000 families have fled their homes in the Baringo security operation to expel bandits, but they say police terrorise innocent residents. Residents on Monday accused police officers of burning their houses and granaries, killing livestock and extorting money. The Dumisha Amani operation is aimed at disarming and flushing out armed bandits who have been terrorising residents of Baringo North and South subcounties. Ann Mukoino said officers on Sunday torched their houses and displaced more than 400 residents of Mukutani. He said police are pursuing armed bandits to their hideouts.
