The National Police Service (NPS) has dismissed reports that some of its officers deployed to Haiti on a UN backed peacekeeping mission have been killed.
This was after claims surfaced online that seven officers had been killed in the war-torn Caribbean nation as armed gangs mounted more pressure against the deployed troops.
NPS, through its social media channels, flagged as fake a clip that had made rounds on social media platforms, especially TikTok, insinuating that seven of the officers had been overpowered and killed by the gangs.

The police service did not provide further information about the mission or the state of the Kenyan troops.
The reports had emerged barely a week after President William Ruto flagged off the first batch of 400 police officers who flew to Haiti to help restore peace and lead a United Nations-backed peacekeeping mission.
