The police have also launched investigations into claims that some officials from a county government along with former disarmed NPRs were involved in the attack that took place in broad day light.
Lagdera Deputy County Commissioner Philip Koima said the armed men raided Kampi Samaki which lies in the disputed area between Isiolo and Garissa counties.
He said the assailant also torched seven houses as local residents scampered for safety in the neighbouring villages.
Questions have also emerged on how 70 armed individuals could have planned and executed the attack without the knowledge of security officers in the area.
