An Officer Commanding Police Station (OCS) was attacked on Thursday night by unknown individuals and robbed of his pistol outside his home in Burnt Forest.
Cyntian Lenduda, who is attached at Burnt Forest, was cut in the head with a sharp object by the attackers during the 11 pm incident.
Eldoret East Officer Commanding Police Division (OCPD) Furaha Adamson confirmed the incident stating that the attackers stole Lenduda's pistol and fled the scene.
