Three people have lost their lives following an early morning ethnic clash shootout involving two communities in Elgeyo Marakwet County.
The incident came after two ethnic groups clashed over border rows in the Mogil area of Kerio Valley in Elgeyo Marakwet County.
Scores of people were left nursing injuries following the ethnic clashes, with eyewitnesses revealing that tensions rose after one group visited a nearby village and torched a house over a land dispute at the border.
According to Elegeyo Marakwet Police Commander Zablon Okoyo, police officers have since been dispatched to the area and have managed to calm the tense situation even as they remain alert to ensure the situation does not spill over to an ethnic clash.
