Northlands City farm security manager, Patrick Masinde, on Thursday, April 13, revealed that they had recovered 18 Dorper sheep stolen from the property during a raid on March 27.

According to Masinde, the goons used cars to drop off the sheep near the farm's fence along the Eastern Bypass.

To avoid arrests and detection, those who returned the sheep reportedly sped off immediately after the drop-off.

On the other hand, it was revealed that some goons opted to drop the sheep at the gate of police stations near the farm. So far 18 sheep worth Ksh900,000 were returned.

The police would then call in representatives from the Kenyatta family farm to identify the sheep through special marks. For instance, on Wednesday, April 12, unknown individuals dropped off five sheep near Dandora Police Station.

However, despite recovering the sheep, the security manager noted that the returned sheep were in poor condition.

"We are optimistic about the process so far, we have since recovered 18 sheep. Since these are not traditional breeds that feed anyhow,” Masinde stated.

He, therefore, called on those who had the remaining sheep to return them to the farm for them to be attended to.

Masinde added that they were looking for a peaceful resolution to recover the over 1000 Dorper sheep.

During the March 27 raid, 1400 sheep were stolen, and the goons cut down an unknown number of trees.

The stolen sheep were estimated to be worth Ksh70 million, given that one exotic sheep goes for approximately Ksh50,000.

Earlier, Jubilee Secretary General revealed to Kenyans.co.ke that some Kenyans had also approached them with the intention of donating to the party leader and his family.

"We have requested Kenyans to donate goats and sheep and you would be surprised by the number of people who are willing to provide them - not that they can replace the 1,000 animals that were slaughtered but just to let you know the way things are done," Kioni pledged.
