Senior leaders of the National Police Service (NPS), including Inspector General Douglas Kanja and Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) boss Amin Mohamed, were on Tuesday forced to remain in their chopper for over an hour after landing in Ang'ata Barikoi, Trans Mara, Narok County, where they had gone to address escalating insecurity in the region.

The development came following what reports indicated was the hostile reception security officers feared the two could receive following Monday's shooting of five by officers from the General Service Unit (GSU) over a land feud.

This is after the residents stormed 6,300 acres of land that they claimed was being grabbed from them by a powerful politician from the region, despite being allocated to them by former President Daniel Arap Moi.

Images and videos obtained by Kenyans.co.ke showed the police air wing chopper that had ferried the two staying idle after landing at the venue where the security meeting was to take place.
