One person was slightly injured after assailants’
hurled explosive at a group of people walking along Bulla power areas in
Garissa town at 8.30 pm on Sunday evening.
Confirming the incident, the North-Eastern region criminal
investigating officers Musa Yego said, unknown armed men hurled an explosion at
three men who were heading Bulla Power from the town after retiring from their
day work.
“There were two civilians who were heading toward
their homes in Bulla-Power before they were met by two young men dressed in
Kikio (shawl). The assailants removed explosive devices from their waist and
hurled at the two who were heading on the opposite direction” he said.
The victims got suspicious of the two men whom they
met on the road, after one of them began unfolding his Kikio to remove
something from his waist causing them to stop.
He added “The victims fears were immediately confirmed
after the one of the assailants pelted an explosive believed to be a hand grenade
at the two men, but the explosion missed its target by a whisker, after the two
civilians took a quick dive onto the ground”,
Yego said one of the two men attacked sustained
minor injury after shrapnel hit him on the right arm, while his colleague was
unscathed.
The regional CID boss said, the assailants were two
most wanted criminals who are behind the spate of hit and run explosions
attacks in the town adding that the security officers has been hunting them for
months now.
“We appeal to the members of the public to assist
our officers in apprehending the two young men who are terrorizing the
residents of the town with indiscriminate hand grenade attacks against
civilians”
He said the days of the two criminals, were numbered
as the security personnel were tracing them round the clock.
