A suspected al-Shabaab terrorist Omar Okwaki Eumod, arrested a day earlier, grabbed a gun from one of the officers and opened fire.
“This morning at about 5.30am at Kapenguria Police Station, within West Pokot county, an individual who had been arrested for suspect terror links managed to grab a firearm from a report office officer and shot at several officers who were on duty,” said Inspector General of Poloice Joseph Boinnet.
The suspect’s attempts to escape were thwarted by the quick arrival of other officers who surrounded the station, Boinnet added. The officers were from the General Duty, Quick Reaction Team and General Service Unit (GSU).
