Baringo North Member of Parliament Joseph Mekilap now claims bandits are undefeatable in the North Rift because of black magic
Baringo North Member of Parliament Joseph Mekilap now claims bandits are undefeatable in the North Rift because of black magic.
In a statement on Thursday, Mekilap urged that in order to successfully put an end to banditry, the Ministry of Interior eliminate black magic in the North Rift region.
The UDA MP mentioned that before launching a raid, the bandits pass through the Oloibons and added that anyone who doesn’t use black magic perishes in the raid.
“There is a need for the government to invest in intelligence and be able to deal with elders that practice black magic. All the bandits that come from Tiaty pass through the Oloibons to get blessings those who do not pass through the Oloibons die in the raids,” Mekilap claimed.
The Baringo North MP also urged the government to go after North Rift leaders who allegedly wear black magic ornaments when going for security meetings.
His remarks come after Directorate Of Criminal Investigations (DCI) detectives grilled leaders from Turkana, West Pokot, Baringo, and Samburu counties over insecurity in the North Rift.
