A police officer rescued in Bungoma after hundreds of angry mob surrounded his home over love issues.
A police officer attached to Loruk Police Station in Marigat, Bungoma County was saved by his colleagues from the wrath of an angry mob following a love triangle altercation.
According to a police report, the officer had taken a few days off due to sickness and was resting at his home when he realized that a group of residents was pacing in his direction in anger.
