2014-07-12 | ||
Armed assailants attacked a village on Kenya’s coast, stole guns from police reservists and burnt down a primary school, an official said on Friday, in the latest in a series of raids since mid-June that have killed about 100 people. There were no immediate reports of casualties in the attack on Thursday night in the village of Panda Nguo, which lies in Lamu County on the northern coast where most of the attacks have taken place.
The attack on Panda Nguo took place at about 1am, said Karisa Charo, a tribal chief in the area. “Apart from burning down houses and stealing guns, they took away all the drugs and other medical supplies from (the)… dispensary,” Charo said. Police could not immediately be reached for comment.
