Armed Officers Allegedly Raid Home of MP Ariko’s Ally, Steal KSh 450k and Other Valuables
Turkana South Member of Parliament John Ariko Namoit has strongly denounced the recent attack on the residence of one of his supporters.
According to reports, Ekal Nabuin Bornfestus, a close ally to MP Ariko reportedly had his home raided by armed officers from the Lodwar DCI unit and other state security personnel on Saturday, June 15.
The officers stole KSh 450,000, a laptop, portable Wi-Fi, and other items of undisclosed value from the premises according to sources.
“The RDU made away with goods and valuables of unknown value. They also invaded the said shop and made away with KSh 450k, a laptop, portable Wi-Fi, and personal clothes,” he alleged.
He attributed the incident to political differences between the MP and the top leadership and emphasized that it has significantly heightened tensions within the community.

He criticized the Rapid Deployment Unit for reportedly targeting and harassing youth while failing to promptly address security issues in the region.
“We condemn this kind of act which many people believe is a political witch-hunt. Bonny is a very small person from a humble background in our community championing community issues, and a youth leader we fail to understand as a community what the young man has done to deserve such frustration and intimidation from the contingent of RDU.
Based on our knowledge of understanding, we are convinced that this action is politically motivated; we are asking the politicians behind this to accord our people respect and refrain from such political wars. If you have issues with John Ariko Namoit kindly face him in person and sort out your issues with him,” he warned.
Ariko urged security forces not to be manipulated by politicians to suppress opponents, commit unjust acts, or violate rights.
