The busy Eldoret-Nairobi highway was temporarily brought to a standstill on Friday morning after furious Kapseret residents staged a protest over the alleged abduction of medical laboratory technologist Edward Terer.

The demonstrators, chanting slogans and carrying placards bearing Terer's image, barricaded the road for nearly an hour, causing a major traffic snarl-up that left hundreds of motorists stranded.
