Thousands of residents in Burat, Isiolo County have accused the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) 78 Battalion of evicting them from their land in defiance of a court order.
According to the residents, the KDF put down their structures at night despite a court order which had stopped the evictions pending the hearing and determination of the case.
The locals also accused their governor Mohammed Kuti of failing to protect them from the ongoing dispute. More than 20,000 residents reside in the disputed property.

A team has been picked to look into the Sh63 billion Managed Equipment Services (MES) deal that sought to upgrade medical infrastructure in counties.
The team, led by Kenyatta National Hospital board chair George Ooko, has members drawn from the Ministry of Health, National Treasury, Council of Governors, Kenyatta University and The University of Nairobi.
The team was inaugurated on Thursday by Health Cabinet Secretary Mutahi Kagwe and comes just months after the Senate Adhoc Committee ruled in September that the deal was questionable. The verdict was made in a 395-page document which was forwarded to the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission(EACC).
