Armed attackers raided Deputy President William Ruto’s home in Sugoi on 29 July.
A GSU officer guarding the residence was shot after the attackers snatched a gun. None of the DP’s family member was at the residence during the attack.
The attackers, who are believed to be seven in number allegedly struck about 30 minutes after the DP had left his home.
Reports indicate the incident happened after the Deputy President left for Kitale where he will be holding a political rally.
The DP’s home has since been cordoned off and Recce Squad officers have been deployed.
