Armed gunmen in the Baringo North Constituency shot and killed a primary school headteacher on Saturday. When the tragedy occurred, Thomas Kibet, the 55-year-old headteacher of Kagir Primary School, was riding a motorcycle with his spouse and child.
The rider was a police reserve, and the motorcycle belonged to him.Armed gunmen ambushed the teacher as he was traveling to Kipcherer Secondary School for a function. The teacher was shot and died, leaving his wife and child with grave injuries.
According to Baringo Police Commander Julius Kiragu, the teacher was shot in the head during the ambush and died on the spot.His wife and child were rushed to Marigat Sub County Hospital where they are receiving treatment.
When Kibet was herding his father’s cattle in 1978, at the age of nine, he had previously escaped a similar attack. He was partially blinded after being shot in the right eye by the bandits.Two weeks have passed since a National Police Reservist was shot and killed by armed bandits in Graton village, Laikipia North Sub-county, leaving five other people with critical injuries.
Laikipia County Commissioner (CC), Joseph Kanyiri, confirmed the event and stated that security agents were ambushed while chasing the bandits after they raided the homestead and stole nine cows that were later found. The wounded who were shot in the legs are receiving care at Nanyuki Cottage Hospital and are not in any danger.
Kanyiri claims that the robbers vanished into the Mukogodo bush after making their getaway toward Sieku Valley during the operation.”The bandits might be collaborating with certain residents of Chumvi, Kimugandura, and other locations; they can’t be operating alone. The topography of the Mukogodo forest is treacherous and merciless, according to Kanyiri.The deceased’s body was brought to the morgue at Nanyuki Hospital.
