A terrifying scene unfolded in Angata Barikoi, Kilgoris—five lives brutally cut short in a hail of bullets as tensions over a massive 6,300-acre land dispute spiraled into chaos.

According to disturbing eyewitness accounts, the victims were part of a protest against what they called an illegal land grab—a seizure allegedly linked to a powerful political heavyweight from the region. What began as a demonstration quickly turned into a battlefield.

Gunshots rang out. Panic spread. People ran for their lives.
Explosive footage obtained by Wamuzinews.co.ke captures chilling moments—screams, gunfire, and tearful cries for help as terrified residents scattered. Women can be heard wailing, accusing the General Service Unit (GSU) of opening fire on unarmed protesters.

👁️‍🗨️ “They killed our people! They killed them!” sobbed one resident as chaos engulfed the village.

Narok Senator Ledama Olekina confirmed the bloodshed, calling it a dark day for the community. The outspoken legislator, known for defending Maasai land rights, issued a fiery statement condemning the killings and vowing to travel to Angata Barikoi immediately.

“This is heartbreaking. My spirit is heavy with grief,” he said. “No one will take your land—not on my watch. I’m with you.”

Olekina’s powerful words come just months after residents marched in protest back in March, raising alarms over attempts by the same political figure to allegedly seize their ancestral land.

Despite the outrage, no official statement has been released by police or county officials. And as of now, the true ownership of the disputed land remains a mystery, shrouded in claims, silence, and suspicion.

With tension rising and families mourning, the question echoes through the hills of Narok:
How many more must die before justice is served?
