Three police officers attached to the Kibuse ASTU camp in Nyamira county are nursing serious injuries at the Ndanai sub-county Hospital in Bomet after they were beaten up by boda boda guys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The three are alleged to have been caught collecting bribes and harassing boda-boda operators in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The police officers identified as Vincent Rugut, Hussein Dribo and Jeremia Ndolo were cornered by members of the public at around 7pm and pelted with stones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A video seen shows a crowd descending on three people believed to be the police officers with kicks and blows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They were rescued from a possible lynching by several officers from Bomet who were on patrol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Witnesses say the officers fired into the air repeatedly to disperse the crowd baying for the cop’s blood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A motorcycle of registration number KMFC 390 that the officers were using was also set ablaze during the mayhem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Police oficers enforcing curfew are friendly and familiar to us, these one\u2019s were ruthless and arrogant which promted us to suspect they were not police officers, we gave them a good beating, one tried to plead with the crowd while talking in Kalenjin but no one heard him\u201d. Said Nelson bett, a boda boda operator at Sotik.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bomet county commandant Naomi Ichami said investigation into the matter is underway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
