Five people have been confirmed dead and more than five Injured at Lomelo raid yesterday.



Five people have been killed and five others injured seriously after they were ambushed by the suspected bandits from neighbouring county.
while the cattle herdsmen were grazing their animals as others keeping vigil at the grazing fields when they were attacked and killed on the spot while others escaped narrowly with Injuries.
Speaking to Radio Akicha reporter today,Turkana East Sub-county Administrator Christopher Eregai said that roads From Lokor,Lomelo,Napeitom up to Kapedo are not safe as  cattle herders are all over  and no  body can pass that road.
However he urged government to deploy security officers on the road as the incident seem to stir up tension among the residents who use that road and if no action is taken by the government then all people using that road will be affected.
On the other hand Kapedo resident Joshua Eyanae said that kapedo is not safe even although operation is still going on but government should use another approach to secure the area as  teachers have not reported to the schools due to insecurity thus some schools remain closed.
