Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Interior cabinet secretary Fred Matiang’i has sent condolences to eleven families whose relatives were killed in a bandit attack in Turkana.<\/p>\n

In a statement on Monday, the CS said a manhunt has been launched to arrest the perpetrators.<\/p>\n

“Our heartfelt condolences to the family and relatives of the eleven people among them National Police Service officers and a chief who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty in Turkana,” he said in a tweet.<\/p>\n

“The perpetrators and the masterminds of this dastardly act and other purveyors of banditry in the county and its neighbours are being pursued.”<\/p>\n

On Saturday, 11 people were killed in a bandit attack in Kakiteiteu village in Turkana East sub-county.<\/p>\n

The victims include eight police officers, a local chief and two civilians who succumbed to the injuries inflicted on them by the assailants.<\/p>\n

The victims were ambushed as they pursued heavily armed bandits suspected to be from the neighbouring Baringo county.<\/p>\n

Police have launched a multi-agency security operation in Turkana.<\/p>\n

“A multi-agency security operation today has been launched in the area to arrest the perpetrators, recover the stolen animals and firearms and return normalcy to the area,” reads a statement by NPS.<\/p>\n

President William Ruto directed security agencies to firmly deal with the perpetrators of the attack.<\/p>\n

“After receiving a comprehensive report on the Turkana\/Pokot incident that led to 10 security\/administration officers losing their lives, I have instructed security agencies to deal firmly, decisively and conclusively with those involved. Cattle rustling will stop na sio tafadhali,” Ruto said.<\/p>\n
