Migori: Residents decry rising insecurity in Sori, Nyatike West

Residents of Sori in Nyatike West Sub-County, Migori County, have expressed growing fears over the increasing cases of insecurity in the area.

The community's worries are compounded by allegations that local residents are not fully supporting security efforts to combat crime, according to security officers.

Some locals allege the presence of a theft syndicate operating within the region, responsible for a surge in robberies that have left residents living in fear.

The residents reported frequent break-ins into business premises in Sori town and surrounding areas, calling for urgent action from security agencies to restore safety.

He urged residents to collaborate with security officers in order to eradicate criminal gangs from the region.
