The Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) has urged the public to remain calm as it investigates several incidents at Lake Nakuru National Park, including illegal fishing, the disappearance of a man and subsequent protests.
In a statement on Thursday, January 23, KWS said it is fully cooperating with security agencies to uncover the facts and ensure accountability.
The Service noted officers linked to the case have recorded statements with the Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DCI) and investigations are ongoing. "We appeal for calm and urge the public to avoid incitement, lawlessness, and destruction of property," said KWS. "We are committed to a fair and transparent resolution of this matter." The disappearance of Brian Odhiambo, a 31-year-old man, is a central focus of the investigation.
Odhiambo was reported missing on January 18 following an encounter with KWS officers.
