Multi-agency security team based in Fafi on the spot over alleged human rights abuses

GARISSA—A multi-agency security team based in Fafi are on the spot over alleged human rights abuses. The team was deployed to the area following a spike in insurgency along the LAPSSET project.

Garissa Governor Nathif Jama said an intelligence-led approach and close working relations between the security apparatus and the wananchi was the only way insurgency can be defeated.

“The other day there was a clip that was going around on social media of a man who was thoroughly beaten and the way he was talking with a lot of anger. I was really offended by the beating he received on his back. I was really offended. There was no need to do that,” said the governor.

Northeastern regional commissioner John Otieno acknowledged receiving complaints from a section of residents.
