Several people are feared to miss after two vehicles they were traveling in were hijacked by al-Shabaab terror groups members.
The two vehicles including a Landcruiser with South Sudanese registration numbers and one registered in Kenya were hijacked by the group on Monday, August 7. The vehicles were ferrying voters to Mandera when they were captured by the group near Arabia.
At the same time, two vehicles have been hit by an explosive on the Garsen-Lamu road in another suspected terror attack. The vehicles are said to have hit an Improvised Explosive Device(IED) leaving two people injured. The group has also destroyed electricity lines in Lamu leading to a blackout which is likely to affect voting in the area.
We are working to restore a 220 kV high voltage line serving #Lamu county which fell after being vandalized today.
