Monday, November 10,
2025 - Loima Member of Parliament, Protus Akujah, has claimed that he was
physically attacked by Turkana Governor
Jeremiah Lomorukai in an “unprovoked” incident at the Lodwar Airport’s VIP lounge on 9th November 2025.
According
to a statement from Akuja, the incident occurred shortly before 11:00 a.m.
He
says he was seated in the lounge when Governor Lomorukai entered, greeted him,
and took a seat nearby.
Akuja
alleges that the Governor began provoking him and accusing him of undermining
his leadership.
A
heated argument ensued, leading to a scuffle.
The situation escalated after the Governor physically
attacked the Member of Parliament.
“I stood up and struck him back in
self-defense,” the legislator said.
The altercation was reportedly de-escalated by the
Governor’s bodyguard, who intervened and moved the Governor toward a separate
room, while airport security prevented Akuja from following.
Other leaders present, including Jackson Nakusa, reportedly urged Akuja to “calm down.”
Here is a police statement on the incident.
