Father Machuol told Gurtong that he was attacked by men posing as policemen after visiting a bank at the city centre. “I was going back to my residence at Langata Seminary, some kilometers from the city centre, to pick a friend with whom I was to go shopping in town. It was then that three men alighted from a car and confronted me claiming to be looking for a Mr. John. In a flash of seconds, I was bungled into the car which the robbers drove to a coffee plantation in the outskirts of the city”, narrated Father Machuol who had visited his family in Nairobi. He said the robbers tied him to a tree after beating him and robbing him of cash and valuables.
