Operations at a police station in Mairo-Inya, Nyahururu, briefly came to a standstill after hundreds of residents stormed the facility, calling for a transfer of the Officer Commanding Station (OCS).
Led by community leaders, the residents infiltrated the station in peaceful demonstrations as they openly faulted the incumbent OCS for what they termed poor service delivery.
The residents accused the OCS of tolerating crime in the area, which they say has been on the rise since it took charge of posts in the area.
According to area residents, crimes ranging from mugging to cattle theft to car burglary have been on the rise, with attempts to report the matter to police having been futile.
