An Eldoret-based businessman, Ibrahim Sidik Abdullatik, is seeking protection from the government, claiming his life was in danger.

Ibrahim, who is embroiled in a controversy between him and his in-laws over an ongoing assault case in an Eldoret court, claims he is being constantly trailed by unknown vehicles during the day and night. "I sincerely want to make obvious to the public that my life is in danger.

Some people have been following me with an intention to harm me.

Things have become difficult; I can transact my business during the day for fear of being abducted," Abdullatik said.
