As officers were disembarking from their vehicle, they were attacked by the armed bandits thus precipitating a fierce exchange of fire which resulted into the death of Mr. Eseken Nandiko, aged 25 years. An illegal firearm, make Carbine serial number 1954R loaded with two rounds of ammunitions of 7.62x39 mm was recovered from the suspect.
