Multiple attacks in Baringo, Laikipia and Turkana counties have forced security agencies to resume an operation to flush out bandits from the troubled region.
The operation in which Kapedo was its epicenter had been launched on January 18 to quell tension between warring communities at the Baringo-Turkana border following the killing of senior security personnel.
General Service Unit Commander Tebakol Emadau, 53, was gunned down by bandits in Kapedo at the border of Baringo and Turkana counties.
Four days later, a Chief Inspector of Police, Moses Lekairab, and his driver, Police Constable Benson Kaburu, were shot dead at Amayan Bridge.
