Growing insecurity in Garissa has sparked outrage among residents and leaders, who are demanding swift intervention from security authorities following a wave of robberies and fatal attacks attributed to armed gangs.
The latest victim is an 18-year-old Osman Aweeys, a US citizen who was visiting family in Garissa, when knife-wielding gangs riding on two boda boda allegedly waylaid him before robbing him and stabbing him to death.
Yesterday, Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale asked the security Agencies to swing into action and ensure the culprits are brought to book, adding that the suspects have reportedly fled to the refugee camp.
