Residents of Elburgon town, Molo Constituency in Nakuru County, on Sunday stormed Elburgon Police Station, following the murder of activist Richard Otieno, alias Molo President.

Otieno was attacked and killed by unknown assailants on Saturday night as he headed home, just 200 meters from Elburgon Police Station.

Angry residents who disrupted business activities in the area on Sunday morning, are demanding answers from police.

Otieno has been a harsh critic of the government and the area MP Kimani Kuria, for failing to deliver on the promises made during campaigns.

The deceased, who vied for Elburgon MCA seat back in 2022 and lost, was among those who were arrested during the Gen Z protests in Molo, for allegedly leading protests in the area.
