One person has been killed, with another one left injured after they were suspected to have attacked two police officers in Lamu County.
According to an update posted by Citizen TV on Friday August 7, 2020, the police officers are said to have been attacked at Pate Island in Lamu East.
The Lamu County Commissioner said that one of the attacked police officers is currently nursing injuries.
This is however not the first time police officers are being attacked in the Coastal region County.
Just last month, a police officer was hacked to death at night by a gang of panga-wielding thugs in Tchundwa village in Lamu.
Constable Rodgers Odhiambo, who was attached to the Tchundwa police post in Lamu East, was accosted as he walked out of a shop in the village at around 8.30pm.
The attack was not however, the first one.
In October last year, a similar incident was witnessed in the area.
The incident was confirmed by Lamu county commissioner Irungu Macharia, who said the officer suffered cut wounds to his forehead, neck and limbs.
The officer who was in civilian clothes and unarmed as he was not on duty at the time is believed to have bled to death.
Hesborn Okemwa, who was attached to the same post, was lured to his death by an unknown gang on October 2, 2019.
His badly mutilated body was recovered several meters inside a mangrove forest in Kizingitini on October 5.

nothing like Justice in Kenya's electoral body.this greediest must vacate the office
Your Comment : I have now believed that we do not have an independent electoral and boundaries commission , instead we have a congregation of greedy individuals out to misuse Kenyans and bring chaos to our country. #Remove them. #clean the top leadership.
Congratulations to Governor Mutua,you really deserve to lead in the best performing governors,,, those ranked last should be dealt with accordingly for misappropriating public funds

Hehehe, supporting somebody was not an agreement in the handshake my friends!! Remember Raila caused many to die during the era of maandamano hence Uhuru devised a method how to tame this power hungry man!! Mariga must win
Your Raila and uhuru come from different political party,. Everyone is free to handle his party issues and i salute the president for supporting mariga being the jubilee candidate. Raila is also supporting the odm candidate and no one is against that. Some people are taking handshake as political party while it's not. Please mr mp style up.
