Deputy Inspector General Administration Police Service Gilbert Masengeli and Director Criminal Investigations Mohamed Amin on Monday conducted a security assessment in Wajir and Mandera counties hours after an officer was killed by suspected Al-Shabaab militia and a government vehicle stolen. The officers inspected the scene where the attack happened in Lafey Sub-County in Mandera.

Their visit came ahead of a planned visit by President William Ruto to Wajir Town to grace an event on Tuesday, officials said. Ruto is scheduled to address a pastoralist meeting in the town. More operations were mounted in Wajir to wade off any planned protests or criminal activities, police said.

Masengeli said they had mounted operations and thwarted a number of planned terror activities in the area.
