Al-Shabaab attacks Kapenguria Police Station, 6 Officers feared dead

Six police officers are feared dead after a gunman attacked Kapenguria Police Station, West Pokot County, on Thursday morning.

The gunman is reported to have invaded station to rescue "colleague" arrested at Nakujit on suspicion of being a terrorist, according to police sources on the ground.

As per Robert Alai on Twitter:

Police have taken cover as shooting continues.





The police station boss (OCS) Vitalis Ochido is said to have been shot but is still alive, the police sources indicated.

National Police Service spokesman George Kinoti confirmed the incident but without giving the details.

OFFICIAL STATEMENT:

Askari wamefika eneo la tukio kusaidia

Kenya si salama tena!

Kwani ugomvi wao hasa ni ule ule wa majeshi somalia au kuna lingine? Al-Shabaab mmoja ana nguvu zaidi ya kituo kizima cha polisi?

Poleni sana majirani zetu.

This is silliness, hao hapo sio KDF plus jaribu kuwa mkweli wakati mwingine!

Dada usiwe mwepesi wa kujibu na kukurupuka bila kuwa na uhakika wowote. Hao ni kitengo cha polisi cha administration police ama GSU, wanvaa sare za kijeshijeshi.

Pili usione tukio kama hiki ukadhani taswira full ya nchi, sisi wote mahali tulipo hatujui kisa kamili, na usiwatukane wala kudunisha uwezo wa polisi wetu. Aina ya tukio kama hizi, haswa wanapowakabidhi majangili sugu, ni kawaida popote duniani.

Tatu, subiri ripoti rasmi itolewe.

safi

Wakenya inabidi muungane bila kujali dini, kabila au rangi muishinikize serikali yenu ikae chini na hawa Wasomali mmalize matatizo.

Hakuna vita isiyoishia kwa muafaka hususan hii ya kujitakia.

Wakenya takriban asilimia 20 wana asili ya kisomali hivi bila kukaa nao chini mnafikiri mtawamaliza?

Wakubwa zenu huko Kenya wanafaidika kwa hii vita kuendelea, nyinyi raia wa kawaida ndiyo mnaotaabika na kuadhibika kila kukicha.

Hakuna raha ya kuishi kama kuwa na amani na utulivu na hilo kwa sasa Kenya ni ndoto kwani kila ukikutana na msomali roho inakudunda kwa kukosa amani, labda huyu.

Kubalini yaishe.

Bado Shughuli mbichi
Nimwendelezo wa kuviziana
Wavaa ndala hawana cha kupoteza hao

Kwa kweli. Haya turudi msibani.

Huyo jamaa akipatikana sijui watamfanya nini aisee. Maana Al-shabaab ni security threat namba moja Kenya. Wamnyang'anye tu silaha yake haraka haraka!
