  • An unexploded bomb was discovered in Soit Pus area in Samburu Central Sub County on Saturday evening, June 5.

    The bomb was discovered by children who were herding goats in the area – approximately one kilometre from their home.

    They suspected the rusted device to be an explosive and went home to inform their father who reported the issue to the police.

    ”My children found it as they were herding goats, they were not sure of what it was but came home to inform me and I went to see,” the children’s father, only identified as Lolkuloo, told the media.
