At the same time, Lagat urged residents to remain calm and refrain from retaliatory violence, warning against taking the law into their own hands. He encouraged the community to cooperate with law enforcement by sharing any useful information that could aid ongoing investigations.
With schools set to reopen in the coming days, the DIG reassured parents of enhanced security measures, urging them to allow their children to resume learning without fear.
The National Police Service has since heightened surveillance and patrols in Tseikuru and surrounding areas as part of efforts to stabilize the region and promote peaceful coexistence.
