The death of Queen Elizabeth II, has rewaken demands for Britain to own up to it past colonial atrocities against the African people.
According to Nandi elders and historians, they said British colonial authorities lured Samoei, a spiritual leader of the Nandi people, to a meeting in October 1905 supposedly to bargain an armistice but instead he and his fellow warriors were killed, and the head of their leader Samoei was decapitated and taken to England as a war trophy.
Thousands of the indigenous people of Nandi are believed to have been killed in the decade long struggle that began in 1895 when British surveyors first marked out land in Nandi as a route for the railway Mombasa through Nandi in the Rift Valley to Lake Victoria in Uganda.
