More than 30 people, majority of them security officials have been killed in separate al Shabaab attacks near the Kenya-Somalia border in the past weeks at an alarming rate.
This is even as the security chiefs keep saying they are on top of the game against the al Shabaab terror group.
The latest happened on June 24, 2023, at night in two villages in Lamu County where five men were killed in a macabre attack. Four of the victims had their throats slit and one was shot at close range.
