One of the residents, Mr Kisike, revealed that he spotted the two choppers in the area as he was in his shop. Later he heard a loud band at the trading centre.

County Commissioner Jacob Ouma confirmed the incidents as part of a larger attempt to hunt out the bandits.

According to reports, the military intervention was in response to a livestock rustling incident in a town on the frontier between the Turkana and West Pokot provinces. Hundreds of livestock were taken in a Saturday attack in Masol.

In addition, bandits allegedly attacked locals on Saturday night while the town was under curfew from the Kapenguria-Lokichar trade route.
