    "content": "(ii) On 30th April 2021, there was no report made to the police station of any banditry attack at Ngilukia Manyatta; (iii) On 4th May 2021 at around 1640 hours at Kapedo Village, about two kilometres from the General Service Unit (GSU) camp, gunmen believed to be Pokot bandits attacked Turkana herdsmen while grazing their livestock and made away with 40 goats. A joint security operation team immediately responded and managed to repulse the bandits towards Tiaty Hills. No one was injured during the incident; (iv) On 15th May 2021, there was no incident that took place. However, on 21st May 2021 at around 1520 hours, gunmen believed to be Pokot bandits attacked Turkana herdsmen in the grazing fields at Riet area situated around 120 kilometres north of Lokori Police Station, a remote village with no entry or exit route. A joint security team from Lokori Police Station immediately responded. The team managed to recover 620 goats and 470 head of cattle from the bandits, which were later handed back to the Turkana herdsmen. (v) On 3rd June 2021 at around 0930 hours, Pokot bandits indiscriminately shot at the residents of Lomelo Village who were erecting a fence between the densely- populated village and Silale Primary School injuring three people as follows: (a) Arupe Naidokwang, a Turkana male adult aged 30 years, was shot on the left shoulder; (b) Musa Namaire, a Turkana male adult aged 25 years, was shot on the right shoulder; and (c) Robert Askol, a Turkana male adult aged 29 years, was shot on the right knee. The bandits exchanged fire with the Rapid Deployment Unit (RDU) personnel based at Lomelo who repulsed them towards Silale Hills. Unfortunately, the bandits shot dead Lomoit Longor, a Turkana male adult aged 45 years and Ebunu Longor, a Turkana male adult aged 52 years. There was also a Turkana male adult aged 52 years who was getting fencing materials from the village on the bandit’s escape route. Nothing was stolen during the attack. The security team repulsed the bandits towards the direction of Tiaty West and overpowered them. The security did not see the livestock that were initially reported stolen during the fire exchange. However, the children who were allegedly abducted by the bandits were later traced and found unhurt since they had run away from Katamanak Manyatta to hide in the bushes."
