There were chaos at the residence of ousted Isiolo County Speaker Mohamed Roba when a car was burnt as police tried to take away three cars belonging to the County Government.
A team of police officers had on Tuesday afternoon visited the home of Roba with an intention of taking away the cars belonging to the local county.
Roba was ousted as the Speaker of the county but has been holding on to some of the property belonging to the devolved unit.
Eight police officers went to the home seeking to take away a Toyota Land Cruiser VXL, which had been fitted with what they termed as an unauthorized number plate and two other four-wheel drive ones.
They were parked in the basement of the residence.
The team managed to gain entry to the basement in order to recover the said vehicles and while in the process of the recovery, Roba came with a group of rowdy youths and started harassing officers demanding them to vacate his compound.
The rowdy youths turned violent and began pelting officers with stones.
The team requested for reinforcement while withdrawing.
One police officer was forced to fire one round in the air to scare away the rowdy youths as they managed to escape the scene, police said.
More reinforcement team arrived and they went back to the scene when they realized one breakdown they were using in the mission had been set on fire and extensively damaged.
