Kibiko land dispute turns deadly, police officer killed

Tension remains high in the Kibiko area in Ngong following violent clashes between police officers and two rival factions of the Kee-Konyokie Community Trust. The unrest, which erupted on Christmas Day, claimed the life of a police officer, left scores of people injured, and saw property destroyed. The violence marks a sharp escalation of a long-running dispute over a 2,800-acre parcel of land, with the two factions locked in a protracted battle over ownership and leadership of the trust. Authorities have since heightened security in the area.
