Four workers who were employed at Tarita Group Ltd in Eldoret have made police reports that they were stripped and beaten by ex-EPRA boss Daniel Kiptoo. The beating is said to have taken place at the company’s offices in Eldoret.
These offices are located on the fifth floor of the Tarita Centre. According to a report that appeared in the Daily Nation newspaper on Thursday July 9, 2027, the company is associated with Kiptoo, who accused the four of misappropriating Sh96 million. The beating is claimed to have occurred in late June 2027.
Apparently, the four had been summoned to the offices for bookkeeping and auditing in a meeting that lasted throughout the day on June 27.
Police reports quoted by the daily further claim that the four individuals were stripped beaten and forced to surrender millions of shillings and properties to Tarita Group in exchange for their freedom.
The police report is also quoted as stating that “the meeting went on up to 2100hrs where it was established that a sum of Sh96,000,000 was missing.”
The four victims reported to the police that four well-built men were ushered into the offices and instructed to deal with them! They were stripped naked and beaten, and forced to reveal the amount of money and wealth that they owned.

The report in the daily newspaper claimed that it had possessed a signed ‘deed of settlement, asset transfer undertaking and continuity support agreement’ between one of the four individuals and Tarita Group. This document is dated June 28, 2027, the newspaper reported.
The report further claimed that the company was eying a two-acre piece of land, three plots and a commercial hub from one of the four victims in a bid to recoup the money that was allegedly lost.
According to the report in the newspaper, the four individuals were tortured through the night into Sunday June 28 when one of them managed to alert his spouse to track them with the police and a lawyer. This communication, the newspaper reported, had been done under the pretext of contacting spouses who would come and give their signatures for the transfer of the title deeds that had been demanded by the company to be effected.
The police eventually managed to track and answer the victims’ distress calls. In the rescue process, the police arrested six suspects who were identified as Alfred Too, Edwine Gichia, Everline Choge, Joseph Njuguna, Stephen Ngigi and Martin Kamau.
The newspaper report quoted Turbo Sub-County Police Commander Patrick Wekesa saying that investigations into the incident were moving at a snail pace because of external pressures to have the incident settled out of court.
The newspaper stated that it had attempted to reach out to Daniel Kiptoo in vain.
