Tension remained high Tuesday along the Tinderet-Chemelil border after police shot dead two young men during violent clashes over a decades-old land dispute between locals and private landowners. Another woman was shot and wounded before being rescued to the hospital on Monday, September 29, 2025, in the confrontations. The confrontation erupted on Monday morning when hundreds of armed youth stormed a disputed parcel of land in Kimwani. The tension over the land had been growing in the past weeks with groups issuing threats on those occupying the site. Nandi County Police Commander Thomas Ototo confirmed the incident, saying security agencies were working to restore calm.
