How was the 7th Grade Baringo girl kidnapped?
The seventh -grade student reportedly prepared lunch at his home on Friday, June 6, when two armed men raided the house and attacked him with two of his younger siblings: A fifth -grade boy and a three -year -old child.
According to a resident, Richard Chepchomoi, the three children were alone at home when the incident occurred.
The attackers allegedly ordered the children to stop what they were doing and followed them. However, the baby began to cry, causing the kidnappers to leave him.
The fifth -grade boy later managed to escape and return to the village to scream.
Security officers sent to the area quickly responded to the search for the suspects, but could not search them.
“The incident has sparked panic among villagers. This is the first time a kidnapping has happened here,” Said Chepchomoi. “Now we are very concerned about the safety of our school -going children, especially those who walk long distances. The authorities must quickly rescue the girl and bring the perpetrators before the law.”
Yatya area chief Jackson Keitany confirmed that the suspects were later seen with a girl disappearing in Rionong’o, Tiaty East – more than 50 kilometers from the kidnapping area.
“When we received a report from the boy, we immediately gathered the locals and the police, but the biggest vegetation in the area hampered the search. Chief Keitany said.
Baringo County Police Commander Julius Kiragu said the incident was being investigated, with officials being sent to search the robbers and rescue the girl.
“Our teams are on the field and they follow all the leadership. We are determined to capture the bandits and save the child safely. He said.
Residents are now calling for the strengthening of security operations and long -term solutions to the growing insecurity in the area.
