Detectives stormed veteran Rift Valley politician Jackson Kibor’s Ziwa home yesterday and confiscated his firearm before escorting him to the Eldoret police station to a record statement in connection with an attempt to shoot his son.
Ezekiel Kibor, who claimed to have escaped death by a whisker, was also at the station with his wife to record his statement.
Speaking to the media at the station, Eldoret West OCPD Samuel Mutunga said they were investigating the incident said to have been triggered by a land dispute. Kibor (pictured) has, however, said it was his sons who wanted to harm him using machetes.
“I was just trying to scare my sons from attacking me after I found them ploughing my land without my consent,” he said. The veteran politician moved to court seven months ago to block transfer of a 1,250-acre parcel of land to his sons, 20 years after subdivision. He says he is still the owner of the vast property which he alleges was illegally subdivided and registered.
