Police officers on patrol survive attacks by angry youth in Bungoma following a crackdown mission
Police officers on patrol survive attacks by angry youth in Bungoma following a crackdown mission.
According to a police report, the two officers, dressed in civilian clothing and unarmed, passed by the home of a resident suspected to be dealing in illicit brew.
The report indicated that the intentions of the officers were not clear as they had not been directed to carry out the mission by their seniors.
The two officers barged through the suspect’s home in an attempt to hunt those engaging in the vice.
The suspect, however, wailed, raising an alarm from the nearby residents who thronged his homestead.
Armed with crude weapons, the angry youths seized the two officers and beat them to a pulp.
At the time, another resident contacted police officers from Mayanja and Bungoma Police Stations who rushed to the scene to aid their colleagues.
The police officers who arrived as backup managed to drive the angry mob and restore order at the suspect’s homestead, saving the two officers’ lives in the process.
