A section of Isiolo leaders has accused a multi-agency security team of taking sides in conflict between rival herders from Isiolo and Samburu that had turned violent.

The leaders, who comprised MCAs, elders, woman groups and professionals yesterday disputed the version given by police that five people killed by the security team last Friday were associated with rustling incident that targeted herders from Samburu.
