Two Injured in Wajir Gun Attack

Two people, an army officer and a civilian, have been hospitalized after assailants suspected to be members of Somali militia Al Shabaab attacked Wajir town on Friday night.

Confirming the attack, Wajir East OCPD Odhiambo Wambia says police are pursuing the suspects who executed the vicious gun attack.

The injured Kenya defence force officer David Mugambi, who is admitted at Wajir county hospital, says he was shot on the back as he waited for transport to a Meru assignment.

Friday night’s attack comes as Wajir County has experienced several incidences of insecurity and attacks by terror suspects in recent months.
