Several police officers are feared dead following a suspected Al-Shabaab attack on two police camps at Fino Ward in Lafey, Mandera County.
According to the Lafey Deputy County Commissioner Eric Oronyi, the attackers targeted Administration Police and reservists' camps in the area.
Reports indicated that the attackers destroyed the Safaricom mast in Lafey town, to disable communication between the officers and their bosses, before storming the camps.
"It happened around 1am but communication was cut off. I cannot tell more. We are yet to get clear information from the ground since those to give information took off.” Said Eric Oronyi
The duo was part of the 100 identified in a rigorous process that assessed their measurable, scalable achievements in the recent past with Time noting that they “represent the power of individuals to make significant progress in influencing the climate economy”.
While the numbers do not necessarily reflect a fully free and fair electoral competition, these African heads of state hold the record for landslide victories which often occurred in elections where opposition was locked out of participation, was weak or boycotted the polls altogether, or where the ruling party held dominant control.
Fino MCA Saad Sheikh Ahmed reported the death of five officers amid fears planted explosives in the camps.
