A major operation was mounted after a driver attached to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations was shot and killed by suspected al Shabaab terrorists in an attack in Lafey, Mandera County, on Monday morning. The incident has sent shockwaves throughout the region, and authorities are working tirelessly to apprehend the perpetrators.
The unknown number of gunmen, who were heavily armed, later grabbed the driver’s four-wheel drive car and escaped with it, leaving a trail of destruction and chaos in their wake. Police said this was after they had dropped the body of the deceased from the car, in a brutal display of their disregard for human life.
A passenger who was in the car was taken away by the gunmen, police said, adding to the concerns of the authorities and the families of those affected. The deceased was attached to the local police command, and his death is a significant loss to the community.
The area where the attack occurred is near the Kenya-Somalia common border, which is usually breached by the terror group, taking advantage of the porous border to launch their attacks. Police said the gang crossed the border into Somalia, where they are believed to have hideouts and training camps.
The body of the deceased was moved to a local mortuary, where it will be examined and prepared for burial. This is the latest such incident in the area, amid ongoing operations by separate teams to curb the activities of the terrorists.
