Locals said 6 officers arrived at the home of Nicholas Onsombi and ordered everyone out of the house to conduct a search.
"It was 11 am when I saw a police land cruiser parked at Onsombi's gate. I went to check on what the officers were doing. 10 minutes later 6 officers came out of the house running after they were attacked with bees from inside the house," said Francis Ondigi.
Mr Ondigi said the bees chased the officers who fled and abandoned their vehicle.
