Nairobi, Kenya - Police in Eldoret town have arrested eleven suspected adherents of the Mungiki sect including their regional coordinator.
The Eldoret acting OCPD Apollo Wanyonyi said the police also recovered an AK 47, a fully loaded magazine, 162 rounds of ammunition and crude weapons.
The weapons including three pairs of army uniform were found hidden in holes dug both inside and within the compound of a house in Kipkarren Estate believed to be their hideout.
A cash book listing contributions from members and their constitution was also found.
The OCPD, who was accompanied by the officer in charge of AP's Superintendent Joseph Keitany said they had received information that touts were fighting in Huruma Estate for the control of the Huruma matatu stage.
They arrested four suspects after residents complained that were they suspected members of the Mungiki sect.
After interrogations, the four led the police to their hideout where seven other suspects were arrested.
Wanyonyi said the police had recovered many stolen electronic items and appealed to members of the public to come forward and identify their property.
