Police have been ordered to arrest Eldoret-based Lawyer Simon Lilan and his brother John Tallam. The two will be charged in court for giving false information to the police and causing unnecessary public panic.

Uasin Gishu Police Commandant, Samson Ole Kinne on Saturday said the two would be arraigned in court as soon as investigations are over.
