Residents of Lolldoiga who are pursuing compensation from the British army over pollution are alleging mischief.

The 1,496 people sued the British Army Training Unit in Kenya (Batuk) following a 2021 bushfire said to have started during a training session. The fire destroyed over 10,000 acres of land in and around Lolldaiga Conservancy.
